Hi and help ;)

Thanks Sean I haven't got any aquarium salt left (I used the last of it up treating my cardinal tetra's for saddleback a few months ago) but I've turned the heat up to 86 (it was already at 84) but at the moment it doesn't seem to be making much difference I know it's not an instant remedy but I'm getting worried now. I rang Mr Garden Centre, told him that one had gone for the other and he didn't sound at all surprised He offered to test my water for me when I can get there which I think is a downright cheek as I actually saw one fish attack another

Well, I'll keep everything crossed for the little fella and hope he survives

Ahhh the poor little mite's out of his misery now After almost 10 days in a hospital tank of methylene blue (as recommended by the garden centre when I finally got there) he wasn't looking any better, but he wasn't looking any worse either :/ This morning all his colour seemed to have gone and when I just went to check on him, he was nowhere to be seen. I took the tank practically to pieces looking for him and eventually found him.......behind the tank, underneath the extension lead The opening 'flap' on that tank is only a thin flap at the front so he must have shot up in pain, dislodged the lid altogether and fallen out At least he's not suffering anymore

R.I.P Pikey I did everything I could xxxx

Sorry for your loss, earthling.

Aw thanks hun It couldn't have been very nice for him but, in a way, (in an odd way, I suppose) I'm glad his suffering's finally over. I hope, when he gets to the giant aquarium 'up there' that he gets his revenge on the fish that tried to eat him
