Silversides dipped in garlic, then large mysis work well.

Use a feeding stick, get an acrylic tube (smaller the better) and use thinker fish line in it. Move it around to make the silversides look alive. Key is leave the heads on.

Lions can take up to 2 weeks to eat, but we get ours eating in about 72 hours.
