You may you answer here...the swimming upside down part doesn't sound so
good.

Hi folks, one of my friends asked me for help with her sick lionfish so
I'm posting her questions/concerns here. I also posted earlier to
r.a.m.misc and it was suggested that I cross-post here. Thank you very
much for your help!

"She hasn`t eaten in like probably more then 2 weeks refuses any food even
live food which I don`t feed her normally but I was trying to intice her.
She has been of late swimming in small circles and now is doing that
upside down. If I sit with her she`ll sit next to me though. She`s a
Momma`s girl. Tonight it looked as though a sore has started on her lip it
wasn`t there this morning."

"all ammonia nitate and nitrite is 0. Ph is 8.2 Hardness and alkenlity are
fine. I`m starting to think it`s my neighbors and their damn band
practice!"

Additional info: she says it is a Volitan lionfish. She also recently
lost a 3 yr old fuzzy dwarf.

If you have any idea what's wrong and/or can suggest a course of action,
please e-mail me or respond here. Thanks again everybody!
