I have a Fuzzy Dwarf Lion in my FOWLR with a couple Triggers, couple Puffers, couple Damsels and a trio of Clowns.

It was not eating anything at all for the first week or so but it really got hungry finally, My FOWLR residents all really like krill & silversides all chopped up.

I dump about a half ounce or so into the tank and the Lion finds what he wants & sucks it back.

The funnest was when the lion & my Valentini Puffer where tracking the same piece of krill. The lion won the food but the puffer gave the lion a one heck of a headbutt, rammed right into the lion right in the mouth. Now at feeding time the puffers and lion are on different sides of the tank.

I got mine in 2009 from a LFS that had already taught it to eat frozen. For the last three years I've been feeding it silversides or krill every second day by mounting them into the end of a length of hollow acrylic rod.

Why don't you want to put a skimmer on your FOWLR?
