« a bad sign... »

the end is nigh for spot…. stay tuned for tomorow’s episode…. :-(  he’s fighting it now, but it doesn’t look good for the little guy.

his gills are still gilling, but his posture hasn’t changed. when i swirl the water around in his (giant sized) wine glass, he perks up, and then returns to lounge position.

Fish should NOT lounge.

… he’s still vaguely alive, and i use that “alive” term very loosely. I’ve even resorted to asking for professional help. Waiting for the prognosis now.

If he holds up over the weekend, perhaps we can suspend the deathwatch.  Although, I’m expecting to return to a floater and a funeral :-(

… Spot survived the weekend. He’s back in his huge tank, and he’s on the mend.  I don’t know what he went through, but he’s coming through it!

;-)

Is there any way to keep the water moving? It might be that your little shrimp there requires some aid in getting the water to flow...

hmmm - maybe - i just moved him into the smaller glass, because he hadn't eaten in a while, and getting to the top of the water was a huge challenge for him..... hmmm.....

Jules, I'm sorry it took me awhile to write you back. I hadn't checked my nippyfish email in a couple of days. Anyway, check your email. It was too long to post here.

Does that make him previously former or formerly previous?
