Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Alrighty... here goes:
I brough my lionfish home from work last night. He was partially eating there, and hasn't eating anything since i got home. Now I know I shouldn't expect him to eat because its a new environment.
I know there are a few ways to get him to eat eventually, and of course knowing my luck... I found out that he was started on LIVE FOODS, after I had purchased him.
The only way he'll eat a live minnow/shrip etc... is if its wriggling pathetically in front of his face for about 5 minutes then he'd eat it.
Apparently there's a feeding stick you can get for lionfish, and other predatory fish, and was wondering if maybe i should give that a shot and see how he'll react to that.
If there are any other options let me know.
And I have the option though, that if he doesnt eat, I can always bring him back to work. I love having that authority
