| Re: Help Lion fish gaspting If your fish is gilling rapidly it may be caused by a low level of DO (Dissolved Oxygen) in which case you will want to check your tank aeration system for proper output. It may also be caused by high levels of ammonia or nitrites.

| Re: Help Lion fish gaspting lionfihs can not tollerate high levels of nitrates and ammonia, so make sure your levels are perfect! also, as ACE stated about DO.

| Re: Help Lion fish gaspting well i dont think its DO because i have alot of water movement on the surface so theres bubbles and stuff ( i think that helps?) i think the situation is more similar to jgo1973. hes not exactly gilling for air... its more like "trying to spit something out" and he doesnt do it alot.. jus every now and then. my water looks good. PH 8.3 Ammonia 0 NO2 0 NO3 0 Gravity 1.024 Temp 75 |

Re: Help Lion fish gaspting  I think if he isn't doing it often, visually he looks good and he's eating hes probably ok.
