Default Re: Lion fish

lions eat mainly inverts in the wild, thier digestive system is no set up for fish only, I've seen better results with feeding squid,clam meat, urchins, crabs, shrimp, ect...when i say ive seen.... i have know 3 friends ive setup with tanks who have had thier lions for over 4 years now and no illnesses on the diet i just described, when compared to the others who feed fish i know of only one person for sure that kept it alive for more than 3 years. You usually have to starve them for 4-7 days to get them to eat prepaired foods, smaller guys cant fast as long, big ones hold out for a long time usually. Preaired foods will give your lion a longer life almost garaunteed. Even people who own lions lonterm are getting an impossibly small veiw of what works, you have to observe multiple specimens (or do lots of research) longterm to get a small glimpse of what works. mollies are much better than guppies (and are super breedable)
