Okay, actually I think he is dying. My Kissing Gourimi is 6 1/2 yrs old and this morning when I got up he was laying on his side ont he bottom of the tank. I thought he was dead, but when I put the net in to fish him out, he "wiggled" his fins in protest. At first I though it was air bubbler making it look like this, but I moved him away from that and tried again, and still his fins obviusoly moved.
6 1/2 seems like a really long life span to many, and although I will miss him, I know his time is probablly here. I don't want him to lay there suffering, but I don't want to end things prematurly either...you just can't get a feel from a fish like you can from other animals....
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Here's a few pics I took last week of my fih...I never posted them before becuase they aren't clear...
