Have 2 of them. one is fine but the younger one which ive had for about 8 months i believe just went blind. he seems to bump into the glass and the rocks and swims enevenly. Put some live feeders in there today and he didnt even notice them swimming in front of his face so couldnt eat as the other lion gobbled em up. He definately looks like he cant see. Another thing is he used to get startled when i put my hand on the glass and move back but now i put my hand on the glass and it doesnt even faze him.

What should i do with him? I dont think hes gonna make it if he cant eat. Tryed to feed him with a stick but to no avail.

Also my water peremeters are fine.
 
he is sick with something, that's why he is lathergic and not eating. i would try maracyn-two at first, it can be used in the main system so you wouldn't have to mass with the fish. i used maracyn-two in my reef tank. i would just try and see if he responds. i think if he would just be blind, he still would be able to smell the food and eat like a horse
