Steve Again, (hope I am not being a pain in the butt!) came home at 5:00, Miss Oscar (we have a male cat named Oscar) laying flat, a little against glass as she was all day. I was viewing every 1/2 hour via cam. Went to an old aquarium, shop, and talked with the owner who sold me my 55 tank 18 years ago. I told all the details, and asked what would he do if this was in his shop. He said Clout. It is not made anymore, but gave me pills for my 20 gallon. As I have tried everything, he said it could be just time she passes, but Clout is what he has used for many years and swears by it. Back home, I prepared my 20 gallon, removed the small fish, and had ready to put in the 125. Removed the top glass, and with my big net, got it around Mrs Oscar. As I pulled her up, she gave a massive fight, what power! She swiped out of the net, pulling it from me and falling into the tank. The splash of water covered the wall to ceiling, me, all over the floor, basically an explosion of water. Back to the bottom, but upright, looking at me kinda *****y. That's it I told her. Not as sick as you are pretending to be? Perhaps, me changing the environment with the partition was the problem. I told her, OK, forget the wall, I am putting everything back the way it was. I removed the partition, and she swam out mixing with the rest of the fish. I pulled out the partition, did a 50% water change again, and all the while she is swimming around, in her old pattern. I have decided to leave as is, and if she does not make it this way then it is all I could have done. I treated the water with Prime, put in the next dose of the Malifix, put all decorations and plants (not to many) back exactly where they were a week and a half ago. All the other fish acted the same way, basically ignoring her and she was igmoring the rest even if they bump into her. She is now sitting in the back center tank, floating about 1/4" from bottom as she usually has done for the past year, under her night light. I will continue the water changes, and test water daily etc. And I will continue to watch this EXCELLENT forum. I do not believe she is out of the woods yet, but I am doing everything possible to save her. Ok, lets see if she is hungry in the AM. Yes, I read every single word everyone is typing here! See pics!
