hi

i have a new lionfish that is 4inch and i just want to no how much to feed him.
he is feeding well on frozen squid,shrimp and cockle

Once a day is fine. Feed him enough to stop his feeding frenzy but avoid feeding him so much that he cannot eat any more.

my dwarf lion ate a cardinal bigger than him, he seem happy afterwards

has anybody been stung by these fish? I have heard it is quite painful? Any close calls?

if your stung while diving by a lion fish it usually involves a trip to the local hospital, so in short even if they are less venomous in a captive environment its gonna be very painfull so avoid being stung at all costs!
