Oh no, what happened to the food?dimensional said:Both of our lionfish just died due to tainted food... :(

dimensional said:Well, their food happened to be live goldfish, and I'm not entirely sure what went wrong. We got them from the same place we always do. The day after we fed them they both died. I suppose it really could have been coincidence, but I'm sure it was because of the fish.
They were both awesome, too! Rest in Peace Spike and Sting.

Do they have ick? That's treatable, isn't it?Lacy33 said:Both of our Betta boys are sick, but Hubby has asked me not to put them to sleep.
A "little" upset about this, I know why he asked me not to.
But I so wish they had made out a living will!

Lacy33 said:Goldie loves humans so much I think he would go shopping, and sleep in the bed with us if we let him.
awww {{{Lacy}}} I'm sure he'll be ok.Lacy33 said:No it's not ick. Tho they did have it over a year ago and that is when we went for information and a complete overhaul on their living conditions. Heaters, filters and such. No, Evo, I clipped our stronger betta with a tool and he is having a very hard time recovering from his wound. This is very hard to talk about.
I am using betta fix and something else i would need get up and go look at.
The other boy, Goldie (he hates that name), was sickly when we got him, but he is so unfish like that we don't know if he is dying or rehearsing for a Broadway play. We are a block from Broadway you know. Goldie the Drama King. Goldie loves humans so much I think he would go shopping, and sleep in the bed with us if we let him. Rocky, I fear I may have hurt so badly he, may have a hard time recovering.

You never intended to harm him, your intentions were good. Just remember that.Lacy33 said:Thank you Evo and all. This is a hard time. One of the forums I go to is for fish keepers and sometimes the sense of support and community given to a fish and the owner at times like this really leave one sobbing.
We went through this with my daughter and a forum for rabbits this last summer when a bunnie left in her care turned out to be a female and gave birth. I think she had five babies die in her hands.
All of these forums are wonderful to the communities they serve.
I don't want to go to my fish forum because I was an idiot and hurt our fish causing this. Those people might kill me. Then who would care for the other two fish we have? Rocky (hhtn) and Hubby?

Love and {{{{hugs}}}} from all of us Lacy dear. We're all with you.
Lacy33 said:I only cried hard one other time when on pf and that was an angry, selfish, temper tantrum having some thing to do with a pink never.
I appreciate your post so much that I just can't really express it.
I didn't think Rocky would take a turn for the worse when starting this thread. But since the thread has been going, I have learned to laugh at dead fish jokes and experiences.
OK! Darling Rocky collided with the sword I was knighting him with. That's why he was being knighted. He's brave.
We hope for the best and even if he leaves. I suspect he will be back because I never met a fish that so much enjoyed trying to bite my hand off at pellet time.

Dave, that's pretty clever. Do you get many fish that way? HUH?
Anyway, Goldie took one look at that and took off. 5:35 est. Take good care of our Goldy. OK?

Is goldie ok?Lacy33 said:That's what Goldie thought. Just up and left. We guess he wanted wheels too.
