Eww
My fish died a terrible death. His body was decaying around him. I tried to fix it with meds, nothing worked. He didn't want to die. He was the fighter-ness fish I ever saw. No giving up. Even with a huge lesion on his side, blinded eyes, rotting fins, and failing organs, he was swimming almost like normal, responding to my presence near the quarantine tank. Slim's two day health plunge was the most fucked up thing I've seen all year. It hit me hard in the feels. I feel responsible, because his little life was my responsibility when I bought him. I put him in a nice big tank to explore--where he tore his fins. I left him in that nice big tank (a bit remodeled), thinking they were healing beautifully. And bam. Ugh, it sucks. At least I learned some things. Like how the melafix I was treating him with is for gram positive bacteria, and could not touch the gram negative bacteria destroying his body. Whatever that all is. http://www.myaquariumclub.com/columna
