    Hey everyone, I jiust got a new baby lionfish. He is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. Just wondering how often and how much I should feed him. I've been giving him 1 small ghost shrimp each day. Also I like feeding him live food so I was wondering what I should gut load the shrimp with. All suggestions and help will be awesome thanks!

    You are feeding plenty. You could soak it in Selcon or some other product like it.
