Volitan came in already trained

Really stoked about this, I was fully prepared to start training a new lionfish that came in from LA this week to eat prepared foods. To my surprise this guy is pounding silversides off my tongs from day one.

I only wish it was the advertised 8"-10" vs the 6" it is but now I'm being petty. It'll get there quick at this rate.

They’re hit and miss with immediate feeding but you beat the odds
LA is notorious for shipping fish well undersized which I can’t understand how one can’t tell the difference between 2” and 6” in my case

I emailed them after arrival asking if the 8"-10" was the length or the wingspan lolol.

I haven't heard back.

I had one about a year ago. Don't worry, it will soon be the size you want. Then you will wish it was 6" again.

It's an absolute pig. Begs anytime anyone goes near the tank.

I got a reply from LA, they wanted a picture which I sent and now have offered to give me store credit for the full price which seems a bit excessive to me, and I doubt I'll use it. A partial refund for the different prices between sizes would have been totally cool with me, I'm not one to take advantage.
