Depressed for few days over my albino sen... :(

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
too bad... he died... reach home one day and saw him cramping... actually more like jolting... so i net him out and put him in a bucket... the jolting stopped but he is loosing his balance and turned over.. it ended in another half an hour... buried him in my garden.. rip.. :( busy with my semester end exam and this **** happens... damn..
 
I'm sorry for your loss.
I have the identical-looking albino senegal. I am three months followed by his situation, and once I saw her cramping. But it stopped and I have not seen since he no longer such an attack. He is still alive, but from what I read here does not predict for him a very good future. Is waiting pointless? Have any of senegal healed this?
 
Awww.. sucks man.. he's such a cutie. Happened to me same way. I was busy with school when my sen turned for the worse. Sorry for your loss :(

I wonder if they're having a seizure when they were jolting. I dunno if fish has same mechanism as human body does... hmmm...

As far as what I've read from the forum. It doesn't seem to be treatable :(
 
My girlfriend picked up two albinos for me while I was on EHM and one of them she brought back had its tail bent upward, but as time has gone by, it has slowly straightened out. Both are very cool and very active. I'm happy it wasnt serious.
 
I have now followed the albino senegalus back situation for about five months. And does not look good. About a month ago it went really bad condition. Not eaten, bloody fins, and it continuously barely move. I put it in 54-liter tank, so it does not die in my big tank. There it picked up all of a sudden a lot. Improved fish fins and the food started to taste like. The fish was so upbeat and lively, that I decided to move it to a couple of days then back to the big tank. But now in its second fin is a bloody and swimming seems to be difficult because of the back. It will wobble from side to side while swimming. It seems to me that fish feel pain all the time while swimming. I wonder now what would I do with it? Putting the fish back into the small tank, where it seemed to feel at home better. Even the back does not seem to bother so much, because do not have to swim long distances? Fish is 12cm long and I think such a small tank it is not right to keep for long periods. Or should I let go of the fish?
 
This fish really fights for his life. Now, the fish swam better and eating with others. Perhaps he still has hope.
