This last week or so my lion fish has no interest in eating at all. Im starting to get a little concerned and I wanted to see if you guys have any trick or tips into enticing them to eat.
The previous owner had him for 9 months and fed him mollies and guppies. When I first got him 3 months ago I stuck with the same foods until he got comfortable in the tank and then I switched over to live ghost shrimp slowly. He ate the ghost shrimp well for a good month and a half and then I decided to try feeding him frozen ghosties, which he loved as well. The last week though he has no interest in food at all. As ive been investigating more on the situation it seems that it sometimes happens with lionfish?? I tried getting him back on live mollies and still nothing. They swim right infront of where he's perched and has no reaction what so ever.
Any ideas on what I can do to get him to eat?
