I tell you what, sometimes this just happens to fish and there is no "cure". I have had resent exp with this with clownfish...they just waste away for no apparent reason that I could detect.

I posted it as " Anorexic lionfish" in this forum eairler this week.
She is a red VOLITAN about 7 months old.

Eve exists no more. Saturday night was her last.
There was no growth, and she had no color form the mid body to tail. Most of her rays broke off, and she barley swam. I couldn't watch it anymore.
I have replaced her with a baby black volitan Sunday afternoon.
What do you recomend for live food? I like to watch the hunt & kill, but also want to keep look out for his best interests.

just for the heck of it did you ever treat the tank with copper.??

 

[jester]

Yes. after 5 weeks of her not eating, Coppermine was suggested by mt lfs. I followed instructions to a "T", but saw no improvement, so I discontinued use. I filtered it out with carbon after treatment.
