J Carter ,
You may want to reconsider what your feeding the lion. It should really get more of a variety of frozen foods. Freeze dried foods have little nutritional value. A varity of frozen shrimp, fish, squid, krill, and silversides would be beneficial to the lion in the long run. Also consider getting something such as selcon or zoe to saok the foods in for added vitamins and minerals.

I took some pictures of the lion's eye I'm going to post them this weekend the eye is more clear It now looks like a big clear bubble over his eye with a small air bubble in the corner silver look I don't think he can see out of It yet I was trying to give it a few days.
My fish shop in town gave me spectrogram made by aquatronics they said to use 4 gals of his water into a bucket with a air stone 3 capsules of spectrogram and give him a 5 hour dip would you recomend this?
what ever it takes I will do this is my favorite fish thanks for all your replys so far & I will put him on a better diet..
