I went to turn Kiara's (my 13" male Midas) tank light on this morning, on my way out the door...and he's dead! I don't know what happened! The other day I noticed a mark on his side, kind of like a sore, and acted immediately. I'm still not entirely sure what it was, but by the next day he seemed MUCH better. The sore had mostly disappeared and he was back to his normal self. The day after that, he got worse. Mostly inactive, kind of just slowly moving around the bottom of his tank, pretty much resting on the gravel. I immediately did a water change, then another one once I got home later in the day. It seemed to perk him up, though he was still not 'normal'. Then, this morning, he's dead! I'm crushed, he was my baby I've had him for three years, he was still just a baby with lots more life in him...ugh.
