mmmm.....If you knew my history with this fish before opening your mouth, you would know I haven't measured him in the past while moving him as I didn't want to add to the stress of moving him. Moving a fish to another tank is far more stressful on a fish then just pulling a fish out of water for less than a minute to measure. His size has been a guess for the last 18 mths, hence doing it out of water. It is far more accurate than a guess at the tank. I have never had a problem with any fish being removed in the past ever.beantickler;2526986; said:I don't understand why you would pull a fish out of water to measure him? Maybe measure him while reloacating or if he had to come out. This was worthless stress you put on the fish. Now look at it... And for what? Just hold the tape up to the glass and get close to its actual size. What a shame if its more then just air.
Remember criticism is easy and also notice you seem to be the only one applying it.
For everyone else, Thanks for your concerns.He is doing much better and continues to improve. He is swimming more actively and is improving daily. I believe Miguel was spot on in his diagnoses of swallowed air.
