Dwarf Fuzzy Lion.

Ok, I have had this little guy for three months now, and I can’t get him to eat frozen foods. A ghost shrimp or a Molly lasts about two seconds. Any tricks to get him on frozen foods?

Had one a couple years ago that I swapped from live to just pieces of shrimp. Use an indicator of feeding, like a feeding stick or skewer with the food on it, that way they’ll know it’s food to eat.

Try some silversides on a stick.

I’ve done silversides on long tongs. He seems very aggressive, even for a lion fish. I think he likes the chase.

Does he take the silverside?

No. I put them in with long tongs and shake them in front of him. Nothing.

Try offering the live food on tongs for a couple weeks, then switch over to pre killed items, then frozen thawed items. Might take a few weeks to a month or 2 but this is how I got my first dwarf lionfish to eat frozen thawed.
