Saltwater Lionfish Diet

Saltwater lionfish are carnivorous and generally feed on small fish and crustaceans in the wild. In a home aquarium, they can be fed a varied diet of frozen or live meaty foods such as silversides, krill, and squid. It is important to not overfeed lionfish, as they have a tendency to become overweight and can develop health problems as a result. It is generally recommended to feed lionfish small meals several times a week rather than one large meal. It is also important to provide a varied diet to ensure that the lionfish receive all of the necessary nutrients.
