Ooooh! I hope your lionhead is okay. I know they do have alot of problems w/bouyancy,due to the odd body shape.I have oranda's with problems periodically.I just thaw some frozen peas,gently squeeze them out of the 'shell'and they gobble them up,and usually straighten right up!I have also read about soaking their food before feeding them,so they don't get air bubbles,you can soak the food w/some epsom salt in the water.Helps too.They are easy to get attached to,with those cute little faces!
Good luck.

Sigh Last lionhead is not doing well. Looks like he isn't going to make it. I checked my water and the only problem is a spike in alkalinity. Another odd thing is a "sudden" algae growth on things. Looks like I don't have my magnum filter seated right either. This is going to be a learning experience but I am not going to get more lionheads. Perhaps something about my water is just not right for them.
Thanks tho!
