Regular Member dickey_moe Posted January 10, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2008 My poor little fry...I don't know what happened to him! His back was somehow bent, but he kept swimming and I kept watch on him. Sadly, today I noticed that he could no longer use his tail. he was struggling to find food. Rather than let him suffer, I humanely ended his life. Poor little thing! I looked at him under the magnifying glass, he was all shiny and healthy looking except for the angle of his back. It must have been broken somehow. Goodbye my little fry, I will never know what you would have become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member dickey_moe Posted January 10, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2008 I was thinking about it...It may have happened when the lid crashed down into the water one day. I suppose a little fish could get mighty hurt it he got hit with it. I remember checking for fatalities, but didn't see anything. This little guy was just bent, but he was swimming so I let him be. I don't know what could have changed, maybe he just moved wrong or I was crashing around during a water change and aggravated an injury. it was clear that he couldn't go on being unable to use his tail. Thanks Imo! It was sweet of you to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nickie73 Posted January 10, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm sorry Rach! It is very sad that your fry died, but as Daryl said, only the very strong fry survive and there are always some fatalities. I am sure it was nothing you did, Hon. You are a great fish mom! Rest In Peace little fry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
