My Friend Has Never Had A Lion Fish And He Seems To Be Gasping For Air Right Now. Its In A 55Gal With 50Pound OF Live Rock. Water Is Great. With A Skimmer. It Also Does Not Want To Eat Frozen Nor Live. What Should We Do?

Well He Or She Died 20 Min Ago

R.I.P.
The Only Good New Is That My Friend Is Getting His Money Back
Or He Can Get A Volitan Lionfish.

only get a volitan if your friend is planning on upgrading his tank sooner rather then later

Dwarf zebras are notoriously hard to acclimate to feeding and thriving in a aquarium, they are very sensitive and suffer more than most with shipping stresses. Try a fuzzy dwarf if you're gonna do it again.

Yea That What Hes Going To Do. The LFS Told us It Was Some Other Type of Fish. But Yea We Sea What Happens With The New One. I Hate When The Fish You Like So Much Dies.

What does a fuzzy dwarf eat? I'd love to have one in my 40 gal, but I'm afraid he'll try to eat my smaller fish.
