 | Really Bad fish day |
goldfishgeek   Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 412 Votes: 38 Registered: 27-Oct-2003   | came home to discover my favourite fish had died. my false flying fox, bless him had had him three years. plus my cherry barbs downstairs one of them has developed a strange lump. plus the key hole cichlid is still the same. I don't know what is causing it am guessing it was the heat for the flying fox, God knows what the Cherry barb has, I think it will get the clove oil treatment later   GFG Never be bullied into silence.

I can't believe all this has happened in the space of a day. GFG Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

| goldfishgeek Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 412 Votes: 38 Registered: 27-Oct-2003 | It looks as though he has swallowed a pea and it is stuck on one side, it doesn't look like dropsey - although I have only seen it in Goldfish. he can swim correctly so Mum was reluctant to let me clove oil him, I don't know how to treat tho?
