I'm sure this has been asked to death, but here goes.I've got a 12" Volitan that simply won't eat. He used to eat shrimp flesh with great gusto, but now shows no interest in shrimp, krill, squid, silversides, or live ghost shrimp. Anyone have a suggestion? He's been at this for the past month.
 
I have seen this happen before.. Sudden un-interest in live food with Lionfish. Not really sure I have any good answers.. I would try to throw in some live fish like Damsels, but if hes not eating ghost shrimp, its tough to say. I have heard that fatty liver disease and other dietary problems will usually cause a Lionfish to stop eating.
 
try not feeding him for a day or two will make him want to eat
