Picky lionfish

[MudskipperFace]

So, I bought a fuzzy dwarf lionfish from the store where I work, and so far he's only eaten feeder shrimp. I've tried to wean him onto frozen food, but he doesn't seem interested at all. I've tested my water, and everything checked out fine. Any suggestions for weaning him onto prepared food?

Have you tried whole frozen then thawed shrimp on a feeding stick?

I've tried chopped silversides on a feeding stick, but I need to go get some whole shrimp.

Ok, he's eaten. I tried whole frozen krill and he seriously ate about his own weight of them. The tomato clown and open brain got the rest.
