It does actually becca. Fish are capable of having something akin to a stroke, and the loss of pigmentation on one side of the fish would seem to back up that theory. Have you managed to stabilise the temperature in the tank?

Hi Matt,

Im not sure what the temperature is at the moment, as I threw out the thermometer the other day. I had a feeling it was lying to me.. I’ll be getting another one tomorrow.

All the time.
I’m suprised you’ve never heard an inanimate object talk before…

Must be a Canadian thing, eh?

Does anyone know whether the fish can still be happy if he did really have a stroke?
Just wondering.

He seems to hold on and I am glad he is

Anyways, The fish is still hanging on, but he dosen’t seem to be getting any better. Do you think I should just.. well, you know what Im talking about. Or should I just wait for abit and see how he is doing? I just don’t want him to suffer if he is slowly dying..

if he is feeding, then he could last for some time. but is it not better to let him go (if u know what i mean) than to live life as he is. as sad as it sounds?

I’d say with a small fish like that its lifespan will be considerably reduced at the very least. It may even be better to put it out of its misery. Is it still eating Becca?

The only time I ever hear inanimate objects talk is after I’ve been out for a few beers with Dunc.

Alright. It’s done, he’s gone. He isn’t suffering anymore.
I didn’t do it though, I refused. -nods-
Got my mum’s boyfriend to do it.
