JSTR Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Damn, wish I could train mine to do that. Hey Neil which pellets is it eating, I would be willing to give it a try, anything is better than thawing out krill or silversides. Besides every other saltwater fish I have eats the stuff like it was caviar, so I could easily be persuaded to try and convince some of my predators to eat it. Is there any hints on how they weened it over to the pellets. Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) He used a feeding stick, took him two weeks & I believe that he had 4 of them trained. Not 100% on the size, but I'll double check for you. Edited February 9, 2006 by RD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Paul - he feeds them the Extra Large formula (7.5mm floating) They were trained with a feeding stick using shrimp, then shrimp covered pellets, then he slowly added less & less shrimp. Within 2 weeks two of them were eating the pellets on their own. No stick, and no shrimp. The fish shown above is approx 8". One of the larger Lionfish (over 12") will still only eat the pellets if he uses the feeding stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
