I don't post very often these days so I will be as breif as I can.
About 5 years ago I has a brain hemorage that should have killed me but some how didn't, people at work had a collection for me and as I keep koi they got me vouchers for a localish koi dealer who I knew is passing but not well, after 3 months of being off sick I went back to work, at the time I could tell these had been made up on the fly by the dealer. I made the 40 minutes drive to use these vouchers and used them to buy a £180 pound fish, quite a lot but I only had £140 in vouchers, Dave the guy who runs the place place obviously knew my story and said, that's fine, just use the vouchers.
A month ago she started getting really lethargic, just sitting at the top of the pond and doing nothing so I got her out and treated her with a heavy dose of PP and she picked up, last week she went down hill fast, so got her out again and treated, this morning after 2 days of swimming normally I found her dead on the bottom on my morning walk round the pond.
It's difficult to put into words how much this fish meant to me not only as a fish but as a outcry of human emotion towards me that meant I got to look after her for so long, not a mark on her, nothing wrong from the microscope readings I did, she just gave up...thanks for reading
