;) BURIED "TROY" TODAY: Once again, thank you all for your love for animals, your support, and advice. Today, my family gathered together in our backyard, in a shady place that is still near our deck, so in sight. My mother planted part of our beautiful Bleeding Heart plants there (which I...

Thank you so much guys. All those suggestions are very helpful. I think I will bury him in our garden. The stream would have been nice, but the feedback from GERM was good to know it is not safe, endangering other creatures. I hope to bury him tomorrow as it is finally supposed to be not so hot...

Germ, Your'e the best. Thank you so much. Also the R.I.P. feedback was very helpful. I am glad that I read that. I think I will take your advice, and perhaps in our garden so he'll always be with me. That is where some of my dearest pets (who i consider like siblings even) lay their rest...

TROY PASSED AWAY TODAY... Thank you everybody for your warm wishes to him and a shoulder for me. Poor guy. This morning, he was resting on the leaves as he liked. But then, he was able to swim around again, come up for air several times, so looked best as he could be in his condition. Just...

Troy's status. He is still in there, struggling more to breathe though. Stays up near the surface. Must be starving, but can't eat. He also is tilted to one side, likely from being so heavy on one side with fluid retention. I wish I could do much more to help out making him more comfortable...

Wendy and all, Thanks so much. Your wishes and prayers mean a lot. I hoep they are making it through to "Troy". I will make another posting about his current condition and questions. Thankfully, Hana

Cleaned with just mainly hot and cold water, spray spout, scrubbings. Kidney failure, I have experience with that myself. But every case is different. I went through many major treatments, such pain, but I pulled through. If only all animal med/treatments were as advanced. I had the major...

Thank you guys so very much. GERM< thank you for going through the effort posting a few of the photos I took. I can't beleive it, but I spent my entire day all for poo Troy. All of you are so caring and sound experienced and helpful. I spoke to 3 different fish specialists (and at two...

I just found out the website of Shutterfly to post up my pics. Could you please send me your email address, if you can look at the photos? Wish i could post htem up here but too hard for me. Thank you. - H

Germ, I owe you so much. Okay, I am going to go through all the replies you and others have posted, and copy the most important parts to bring to the pet store. I may also try sendign some of you photos, because I can't figure out how to turn them into "URLs" to post them???? Thank you so...

Thank you lilfishie, I am going to ask for a ride to the pet store today, but am going to wait just a bit more in case others reply with some thoughts/directions on what to get, so I won't be running back and forth constantly. I have to have somebody give me a ride, so have to let them know...

Tetra BettaSafe is the brand we use. Although our water is filtered, and as of now, I learned about how that is not safe, this bottle of water says: MAKES TAP WATER SAFE FOR BETTAS, Complete forumular works in seconds. Water conditioner. So, wouldn't that be enough? I think I am about to run...

OH NO!!! I feel ashamed now. I did not know. I had never had experience with fish before this. But we'd used Britta filtered water for two years, and he had been in great condition. Late last night, more blood chunks dropped down from his gills (definitely blood looking under there). I tried...

Hello all, Many of you have so many beautiful photographs of your fishies. I don't understand how that is possible to take such good photos of someone inside of a tank. I have tried taking so many, also to help show his symptoms with no luck. Example: Yesterday I tried taking some of "Troy," who...

Thanks so much, Germ! You are very helpful. But I am not sure how to get parasitic medication. I'd be a bit nervous about that. I had not heard of Daphnia food. I was at the PETCO store, and I had bought these items: Bloodworms (which I will not give for a while, I guess), Baby Shrimp, Tetra...
