First off id like to say sorry to an mfk member who just lost his fish. His post was the first one i opened up today. So shout out to Justarns beautiful water dog Rocky the Midas. Im sure he was just a handful, a great handful. But i just lost my oscar yesterday to a dreadful disease HITH. Had him since nov 22 2010 and wish i threw him a 4th birthday but its too late. Well i thought i had everything under control with the temp and the meds and the water changing but it was still spreading all over. I did not want to take a picture because that's a memory of him i don't want to keep. He is now sitting in the freezer and i am going to prepare a grave for him in my backyard next to the beautiful flowers growing back there. Now im looking into buying another Oscar because its a fish that i just NEED to have. Here he is when i first got him and when he grew up as a champ.
it's the hardest part of fishkeeping that only a fishkeeper could understand
