Fish aggresion

tvotaw · 03/28/2011, 08:00 PM

i came home today to find my lionfish had his complete bottom fin picked apart by a lemon peel angel. i removed the lemon peel as soon as i saw him nip. but im afraid the damage is done the lion is stressed and floating around in circles due to the lack of control in his swimming. please elp any advice would be great.

All you can do is keep the fish separated, and hope the lion recovers. Fish can make it through a lot. You might want to set up a hospital tank in case the lion gets infected.
