I've had my lion for about two years, he is huge (Basket Ball size). I have a 180 with wet dry and u.v. filters. Alll my other fish are doing good (Bird Wrass, Dog Face,butterfly Tang, tomato clown,Neddle Nose Puffer ect)........All eat frozen food F1 F2 krill whole cockle shrimp ect. Last week my brother in law fed the lion 3 feeder golfish and now the lion is sick.He is breathing heavy and sits on the bottom of the tank. He gets excited when I put in the food but dose not eat. His tummy is large and looks full.Any thoughts would help. Thanks Pete

I've read on a few sites that lionfish will overeat to the point that it can kill them. Another thing is that feeder goldfish are notorious for carrying parasites.
