Hard hit to my tanks recently. Gulliver, the betta died on the way home for x-mas break yesterday, I expected it, he's been listless lately. I also had to put down Tony the midnight shubunkin, Suerte and Tango the sarasas, and a twinbar platy. The goldfish herd has TB and these guys were showing the worse signs.

Genny: I mean to euthanize them. There's nothing you can do for TB in fish once it starts to show. I do it with clove oil as it the best method to me. There are a lot of accepted methods to euthanizing fish, but some are a little less humane. Yeah they really do grow on you. They're the only pets I can have in college so I spend a lot of time and money on tank care and maintenence. Tony was my b-day present from my girlfriend too. My only midnight shubunkin.

I'm so sorry to hear about your fish. :( They really do grow on you. People expect not to care when they die, that was me and I cried when Flame my red betta died.

oh! ok I just wondered....I'd never heard of anyone putting a fish to sleep. I bet that's a hard thing to do.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard to get a fish well once he/she is sick. :(

that must have been terrible, I'm so sorry about your fishies. I know what you mean. I get very attached to my fish as well. Years ago I had a fish named Chubby and when he died I was so upset and cried. I even gave him a good burial with a tiny grave stone. Now I'm very attached to my Queen, I hope she never dies. Once again I am so sorry about your fish, some things can be so contagous in fish.:(
