lion fish question

fishykid9212 · 12/26/2006, 05:16 PM

I just bought a volitan for my 92G tank, he is very small, and once it grows I am going to get rid of it. How often are these supposed to eat because I know the more I feed it the faster it will grow. The problem is, is that it is always looking for food and whenever I drop a piece of fish, shrimp etc, it eats and I heard you aren't supposed to feed these more than 3 or so times per week. What do you all think? Thanks in advance

My advice would be not to purchase livestock that you know will outgrow your tank and know the requirements of your livestock before you purchase it. I'm sure that you enjoy eating every day. So will your fish.
