Hi all
Well, Storm is our copper HM female. She has been ill for about 5/6 weeks now. She has had two cases of gill fungus and dropsy. She has been treated with meds over that period of time but developed the initial signs of dropsy "again" yesterday morning  This morning she was worse, pine coning, bloated and lurking at the bottom of her sick tank. So, i had to think? Do i keep treating? Is it fair to keep treating? Bearing in mind she has received 3 or 4 different meds over the past 6 weeks? So i decided to let her go, if you know what i mean  Its never nice, but i think sometimes its fairer for the fish. We really dont know how she survived this long? A proper little fighter

So sad to lose our little girl and she really did battle to stay with us
 She lived up to her name though even though she always seemed to come worse off!!!! But as Bronzecat said we'd spent weeks treating her but she never really recovered properly from the first bout of dropsey and fugus and we didn't want her to keep suffering . little Storm

Oh bless. Must have been so hard to put her out of her misery but well done for being so brave and at least you know you have done the best you could for her.

Thanks Azulfire & Tibby.....it'll certainly be a 100% improvement on what she was or rather wasn't eating
This is her when she was fit and healthy
