R.I.P. Sweeney & Fusion.
Aussie_Dog-if someone sent you information on how to save a choking fish, could you please post it. Thanks.

Of course!

"Wrap the fish in a cloth soaked in tank water. Ask someone to hold the fish down for you.
Steralise some tweezers and open the fish mouth and try and remove the food or objects with the tweezers."


I would guess the tweezers should be the more pointier kind, not the flat edged kind. We have tweezers, but with the blunt, flat edge, I can't imagine it fitting in a fish's mouth. Or if it did, I picture the damage it could do.

My first guy in this new office - lived through the 2-week year-end shutdown when I could not get in to feed or change water for more than 7 days; he lived about 6 months.

R.I.P. Blue... you were a fantastic office pet that absolutely owned your corner. You were getting better until an accident today took you away from me. Your brothers (and I) will miss you dearly.

  Big Blue Sumo, my rescuced Giant. I don't know how old you were when I got you from the horrible shallow bowl you were kept in, but at least you got to have a better fishy life with a roomy, beautiful tank, water droplets to hunt, buddies to flare at & lots of love.
  Swim in peace beautiful Sumo.

   My beautiful, beautiful Shoki has gone on.  My husband called him a “junkyard dog” because he was so ferocious .
   He was a fighter to the end, he would rally for a day or 2 & then get bad again, retreating to the bottom of the tank. He finally refused food & was really struggling to get to the surface even though the water was low-I couldn’t stand to see him suffer & gently helped him along.
  He was my favorite-so beautiful & always entertaining, ready to fight anything.
  Thank you, Shoki, for gracing my humble life with your beauty & zest.

Rest In Peace Riddick, Venus, Jem, Vittorio, Sly, Jill, Soldrak, Aztec and Rocket. <3

They didn't all pass away at once or from the same thing I just haven't been on in forever.
