the morning fish report.

Mostly unchanged. He seemed a little perkier last night, but this morning wasn't so good again. It doesn't look like the visible velvet stuff is going away. Tonight I'll give him another dose of the anti-parasitic and see what happens...

hang in there little guy, we're rooting for you.

Maybe up his dosage a little bit? I mean, I'm sure it's toxic to him if you go TOO high, but there must be a little bit of leeway in the dosage... maybe a little more would kill the bugs, but not him.

Still rooting for him..

It is toxic to him if I go too high-- there are warnings not to overdose, and he's in a small bowl right now so I have to be careful since there isn't much water for it to diffuse through. The recommended dosage is something like 4 ml ("2 capfuls") per 10 gallons of water, too, so I'm only giving him a few drops right now. (It's Maracide.)

I was thinking of your fish today. Hope this lady can help:

Very pretty. Maybe she can.

Turns out there is a patron saint of fish, too, who brings them back to life...
