What do you feed your predator fish?
I have a porcupine puffer, spiny box puffer, snowflake eel, lionfish.
I was feeding them all krill, but they have seemed to have gone off this meal. I've started fresh shrimp from the grocery store. What are you feeding?

Everyone loves a tasty Mussel on the half-shell, now don't they? ;)

I always gave my predator fish a variety of foods. New Life Spectrum for pellets(yes, they loved them), PE Mysis Shrimp, Rod’s Predator Blend, Clams, and live Prawns and Shrimps just so they could chase them around the tank and have them use their predator and stocking instincts.

Lrs chunky is a good blend for them. My eels love it. Table shrimp is also okay but they need a variety of foods. That fact they eat mostly krill and stopped means they need other food

Get a variety of fresh seafood from your grocery if you want healthy long lived fish. Mine get off cuts of salmon, squid, shrimp, and smelt

The LRS chunky would definitely be enjoyed. Might be a little pricey if you're feeding a lot of predators in a large system, and you are a heavy feeder.
