Hi had a friend watch my tank and all this has happened after I came back. I had explained water was way down in the tank, of course salt then went sky hi. So got that all adjusted, New bio wheel filter on the back,. Lion fish got fed all the time, when I was gone with krill and when I got...

Hi what pumps do you suggest for the bottom. My fish where always thriving until I went on a 2 wks vacation. Lost my Majestic Angel, and water was horrible and down to almost half gone, been working on tank for wks now. Thought the rest where ok. They are except the lion. He looks good. His eyes...

ok will do. NP. I can take one of the power heads I have and add it to the bucket that I will agitate. As you said for 24 hrs at least. Will add more air to the tank also. I do have a new filter that hangs in the back, of course the power head. I also have a protein skimmer. So I still need...

Sorry photo was taken with a cell phone. Hope you can see him. He is so pretty thks for your help. Also not sure how one force feed a lion fish, with that bird syringe. He might not like it and stab me one.

Can't upload photos as it was sent to my email using a cell phone. Darn he is beautiful, wonder what can be wrong with him as he doesn't look sick, just not eating.

oh if a fish could get cataracts I think this fish has them. His eyes are not as black as they where before. You know how lions have their pect. fins in segments, well one of them had a piece missing and the tip looks bent over. This bent over top of that fin looks like it happened between...

Ok got some pictures, how do I post them here. Thks. No extra tank, darn wish I had one that was cycled. What kind of meds do you think I should use. But darn no extra tank. All these yrs never needed one.

Hi, put a pce of silver side on a thin stick put it in his face. He opened he mouth wide, but didn't eat it. He no longer comes to u begging for food. I doln't think he is blind, but might have difficulty seeing. He certainly doesn't want to eat. I guess when he wants to he will let me know...

Great idea. I do think he is blind. In another post I read how Beth I think her name was. Beth said to take a net and silently place in thank. Well I did that and my lion just ran into the net. It didn't freak him out, he just with his head in the net sat there. I guess with the bird syringe...

I purchased a new one. So hopefully it will help, the lion to swimming around a lot more now. He does bump into things. I hope he didn't go blind. He is playing with the power head. Like to get into the wave of it, and let his pict fins move. So will try to feed him tomorrow. Oh the darkness has...

Thought I would let you all know he is moving more. Also put in a new power head, well not new almost new, I cleaned it very well. He is swimming around now, but maybe should wait to feed him. Maybe wait until tomorrow. Ok he just ran his nose or mouth into a rock. Definitely a weird fish Will...

I agree with the pet store not doing a great job with testing. I had lost or some stole my nitrite bottle and the booklet, so I plan on better a better test kit. Ordered one today. It is strange about a week ago I brought in my water and all was ok. Just a little high on Nitrates. I have had...

The store said maybe it is a female and the darkness means she has eggs. Only problem is she doesn't have a mate to help her drop the eggs. I know koi go around the female banging her and laso banging her against the side of the pond so she could release them. Will she drop the eggs if she is a...

Will try to get picture. What is a bird syringe and how can one attempt to feed him that way. I can get him somewhat fresh seafood. From supermarket. OK will post parameters. Water is fine, I will have store do the water testing. Just to make sure it is with fresh testing kit. Thanks will post...

Hi, been about 4 days he hasn't eat. I know that isn't that long. He was always an aggressive eater. You come to the tank and is all over u to feed him. I usually thaw his food under warm water, don't feed him it frozen and break it into little peaces. A friend was feeding him dried krill cause...

Another note, he does open his mouth very little. I had put new water into the tank, with not salt over him/her hoping to make it angry and aggressive. That is when I noticed he was opening his mouth very little. Not like he usually does. Gonna put a pce of silver side in front of his face see...
