Lionfish Looks Sick

[fishrule]

My lionfish is always staying up by my overflow box and seems to have turned a darker brown color, almost light bronze color. He doesn't seem interested in eating.

Hows water quality? any cloudiness of the eyes ,or "sloughing" of slime off body?anyone bothering/harrassing it?

[fishrule]

Junkzoo, water quality is fine, nothing on fish, eyes look clear. Fish just hangs out near over flow box top. Doesn't want to eat. Has been at the same spot for over 3 days.

hmmmm, next questions,how long have you had it ,and what it's been eating? also (does not matter) ,is it a volitan?just wondering ,,,,, one thing ,don't worry the three day fast too much.BTW ,last thing ,,how often were you feeding it ?

[fishrule]

Junkzoo, I feed it mostly frozen krill, but also feed formula and brine shrimp. I have been feeding it a little more recently. Mostly every other day.
