:-( He's been pretty sick for a while now, but I kept hoping he'd get better. I tried some medications, but when he recovered from one thing, he just got something else and early this afternoon, he finally died. :( I guess now I'll never know if he was a male or a female. His fin looked somwhat like a gonodium, but everyone said he looked like a female (and he didn't have a sword). I feel like it's my fault too, because I gave him medication instead of getting another tank mate for him, which I think would have been better, since my guess is the cause of his illness was being bullied by the other fish in the tank, my female gold comet swordtail. :sad: He will be missed. :rip:
 
Thanks. Well, he did do better for a time. How do you put your fish to sleep?
 
I either put them in a bag of tank water in the fridge so they just go to sleep or use a chemical designed to kill fish instantly once they are immersed in it.
 
thanks for the advice. Hopefully, I won't ever have to use it!
 
thanks. yeah, he was a hardly little fellow, but I guess it was just too much. swordtails are great fish though, at some point, I hope to get some more...
