Yesterday afternoon I bought my cousins Black Voltains Lionfish. He had it in his tank for about a week or 2. It was fine and he gave it about 4 feeder fish a week. He lives about a 15 minute drive from my house. When I got to my house I rested the bag with the fish in it in my tank for about 5 minutes to make the tempature the same. Then I put some water from my tank into the bag and took some out of the bag into a bucket and repeated a couple times. Then got my net and put the lionfish in my tank. He moved around a bit when I put him in. A couple hours after I went to bed. The next day he did not move alot at all, he flinched about every 5 minutes. At around 9:00 I put a feeder fish in the tank and he didint eat it. Now he is on the bottom of the tank breathing heavy. He is in a 40 gallon tank with 15 pounds of live rock, an Anemone Fish, a Flame Angelfish, and a Sally Lightfoot crab. It is 4 inches long and the Anemone Fish is too big for it to eat. The salt level is fine and it is 77 Degrees F. Please tell me what is wrong it looks like it is going to die.
