always learning

First of all I just want to say thank you for helping me if you will, I always appreciate learning something new to better understand aquariums.;)

I'm starting a sw tank and I'm going to have lionfish, stonefish, eels, scorpions and stuff like that (only lions for now though). I've heard that lions like to eat only live fish and some crustaceans (is this true about some of the otherfish I have listed?:confused:).
Anyway I have a10 gal. and I was wondering on how to breed tuffies and or ghost shrimp. If anyone has any breeding tips on any of these two please give me some :D

Ghost shrimp are not an adequate food source unless you gut load them with prime reef or frozen sources.
I never had any luck with the gut loading process .The shrimp wouldn't even touch the stuff.
I have a dwarf fuzzy named Leo.He took to cut up raw frozen shrimp straightaway.
I am a trigger lover at heart ,but lions are a very close second.
Very,very cool fish.
