Stubborn Spotfin Lionfish
Hey guys i just recently set up a small 30 gallon tank for a spotfin lionfish about 3 months ago and just put the lion in yesterday.
all my parameters are good with a little bit high of nitrates (10 ppm)
other then that the tank is prime.
i acclimated the fish in a 5 gal. bucket for about 45 min. to a hour.
i dripped it but every 10 - 15 minutes dumped a half cup of the aquarium water into the bucket. when i put the lion in he swam to the bottom of the tank and just layed there nose down so it looks like he is looking out the bottom glass. this morning i turned the light on he was in the same spot he then swam around and went back to the same spot. i tried feeding him and he would'nt even look at the white pacific prawn uncooked i had in there for him please i need some help this is a office pet and i have being bragging about this fish for months and now i finally got it and i dont wanna have anything happen to it. lol
ANy advice would be appreciated thanx guys
