Fish Gone Blind?

[doncheecho]

I have a Volitan Lion since May of '04 that has done very well in my 75 gallon tank and grown to about 6" in body length. His eyes are crystal clear and looks absolutely fantastic. He stopped eating 6 days ago and bumps into everything in the tank. I got him to eat using a feeding prong and putting krill in his face. If I put in a minnow it swims right up to him and he doesn't flinch. I think he has gone blind (several others have told me this can happen). Someone suggested it may be a bacterial infection that may be cureable. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are the eyes clear or cloudy?
I'll also post your thread over in our Aggressive Forum, to see what lionfish owners think.

Well, if his eyse are perfectly clear, then that is pretty unusual. Maybe hes just lost interest, or going through a phase. Post a pic of him, a recent one, if u could. THis is very odd to hear. If his eyes were cloudy, it would be reasonable, but clear? Anyway...
