The main animals that lionfish eat are crustaceans and fish, and there are many kinds of animals that they can eat. Lionfish have a very large appetite, and can eat several times their own body weight of food every day. Lionfish generally choose to come out to hunt near night, when crustaceans and fish may be resting, and they will take this opportunity to catch their prey.

In addition, because lionfish are marine fish, when they first arrived under artificial feeding conditions There will be discomfort, and you will not eat for a period of time at the beginning. To get lionfish to eat, you need to lure them with some specific food first. For example, live brine shrimp can be used to open the lionfish. After the lionfish opens its mouth, it will slowly start to eat, and then it can also be fed to fish and crustaceans, just like the lionfish living in the ocean.
