Pull the plug? (NTT)

[Fishes33]

One of my largest NTT is struggling to live and it's on it side for the past 96 hours.

He is dying, and rotting at the same time.

He want to live but he's not recovering...

What would you do? pull the plug? or just let his life fade away?

Im saying kill the poor thing. But your the owner its up to you

 

[nomad]

I would

 

[blacktip]

That's a really tough call, but if the infections are getting worse and he is obviously not eating then the chances of him making a recovery are slim to none. I would pull the plug.

 

[joedtr]

Put him out of his misery.

 

[chefjamesscott]

if what he has transfers to your other fish you will reget not putting him in a q tank or putting him down.

Put him out of his misery.

Agreed.Looks like there is quite a bit going on....bloating,mouth sores and who knows what else.

If you have a spare tank (10gal or 20gal), move him in there and treat him with Metro+, penicillin, salt, high temp (84 range), good filtration (no carbon) and plenty of oxygen. If not, pull the plug before he takes the whole tank down...

 

[robroy]

either way I'd get him out of the tank ASAP. You'll be even more upset if the other Tigers get the same

I would remove it from the tank immediately.

I know how you feel now as I was watching my largest wild discus die last week. I doubt that this tiger would make it...Good luck though!
