Re: FISH Going BLIND !

I think the fun part of having a lion fish is to feed it pink minnows and
watch him stalk them.

I know certain breeds of fish will develop blindness over time if they
are not given a well rounded diet. Example a Volitane Lionfish that
eats nothing but freeze dried krill can develop blindness, lockjaw
etc. Avoid that by feeding same fissh krill, shrimp parts etc. as far
as your green chromis no clue but might be that.

Hello,

Does anyone have any idea why my green chromis are going blind??? This is
the second group of 3 that have done this. I've had the tank for 6 yeas
( 75
gallon) and Still have some the original fish . A yellow tang and yellow
tail Damsel. They are NOT losing their sight. Neithe r are any of the
other
fish ( as far as i can tell) My light is a 40 watt 50/50 Coral LIFE on
for
8 hours . I also have 2 - 65 watt split actinic /daylaight compacts on for
about 5 hours. ( about 15 inches above the tank. They bump into things and
are having a tuff time finding food. If they bump into a floating piece,
they might get it. The last batch eventually died.

Could the phospors of the 50 50 have changed ???? I have coraine algae all
over everything and hate to change the light. And why just the Chromis???
