I just started the acclimation process on a volitan lion and was wondering if any one has any pointers. I'm going to follow the normal process, but was just wondering if I should do anything special.
Thanks

Feed a variety of foods soaked in vitamins....

Here is the lion info sheet, just in-case you have not seen it http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/20...ture/index.php

You should feed it with frozen food and occasionally with live food,just to see some action!From my experience,small lionfish accept frozen krill,brine shrimp and mysis shrimp,which you can easily find at your local fish store.When lionfish reach a length of 10cm and above,it won't accept the above foods as they are too small for it.Then,it accepts frozen shrimp,small fish or pieces of fish or squid,which you should buy from a fish market.With pieces of frozen fish or squid it can be fed when it is small,too!

Jon- did you see that they grow 8-10" in the first year? I didn't know it was that much. by by nemo
