I have had this antenatta lion for about a month now. He looks well adjusted now and is eating live ghost shrimp and gold fish. I'm trying to wean him off live food so he can get a better diet. Based on what the guys at the LFS told me, I should starve him for 3-4 days and then he will go for the frozen stuff. I tryed this twice so far, but this guy doesn't even look interested. I tryed both krill and silversides. I tryed wiggling the fish at the surface of the water and tried using a stick. He starts to look interested when I first but the food in, but then he just goes back to his spot. If I drop a live ghost shrimp, he pounces on it right away though.
Should I go for 5-6 days, or is that too long? or is there another technique I should use?
