BlakeyBoyR 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Sorry about your e. yellow but can I ask, when you noticed all this weight and scale loss, did you attempt to isolate and/or treat the fish? Or did you just leave it in the tank to be eaten alive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishy Bits 0 Posted December 8, 2004 Fair question.... I did attempt to catch her, but i just moved house at the same time, so i had my other tank and stand packed ready for moving. It is 4 foot and had nothing cycled or even a filter or heater ready to go. I was more worried about the other fish contracting any disease from this one. I am on the look out for a smaller 2 or 3 foot tank for treating any problems in future. I usually use my 2nd 4 footer for that. But now i have moved i am hoping i can get some mouthfuls into it and get some babies. But i really had nowhere to put the poor little thing. was just going to try stick in empty ice cream container with air bubles and float in tank. Really bad timing. Was dead in matter of 48 hours.
