dead dwarf lion

[keener1830]

Well my wife talked to my today (My ship is under way) it turns out my dwarf lion fish died. Its wierd he stoped eating about 3 weeks before I got under way well I guess he just starved to death. It's wierd he was the only one acting up and from what I hear lions are as hearty of a fish as damsels. I think he got stressed out since I hadn't done a water change and then once I did do it he never recovered.

Ya I would like to see what the "experts" have to say.
I had a volitan lion fish and it quit eating about 3 weeks ago. Well it died. There was nothing I could do for him. He would NOT eat no matter how hard I tried. When he did go for a silver side he spit it back out like it didn't fit. This guy was huge, 8" and ate like a PIG before this.

Why do fish just stop eating?
