Lionfish Lost His Appetite?

0

Good morning, I am in need of help this morning….my 5 ” dwarf zebra lionfish has gone 17 days without food and up until this morning he would come up to the top of the tank at feeding time but today he just sat at the bottom and is looking kind of limp. This is my 3rd attempt at weaning him off live food but he absolutely will not accept anything else – I’ve tried everything suggested on your website and I thought he’d eventually eat when he got hungry enough but I think he will starve himself to death. Should I wait a bit longer or should I just accept that he will not accept anything else and feed him a feeder fish….I know he would eat it instantly! Please respond with your well-respected advice as I do not want to lose this fish and I’m not sure how much longer he has. Thank you soooooo much……Lana.
