Sick lion fish ??

[whatcaneyedo]

It doesn't sound happy in its new home. Can you move it to a larger tank? I used to keep a Volitan in a 120gal, it lived in there for about 4 years until one day it lost interest in food and died a month later. I blamed the tank size.

My buddy has a 95 gallon but thaw not much bigger. Any other suggestions ?

Have you tired soaking his food in garlic? Supposed to help with the desire to eat.

[bloat]

might be a dumb question...but you've tried live fish right?

I wonder what ever happened to this fish

I had a lionfish that stopped eating. I tried everythign, but what finally worked is hand feeding. Well, not exactly by HAND, but it has to be on a skewer and placed right in front of him. He's not blind, I see that he follows floating food with his eyes, but he won't go after anything. I can't explain why. I guess he just decided he's a princess.
