did another water change 3 nights ago and noticed that one of the babies wasnt looking right.. just seemed quiet and not quite himself, i put it down to sulking as he had no symptoms... hes dead! he was the bigger of the 2, more confident.. ive never lost an oscar this way before,and cant see anything that i could have done that i havent ( honestly) feel so bad for him, he was just a baby

 

[BackToTheFishes]

oh god Shelagh I'm so sorry!!! Don't think of things you could have done,you know exactly what you're doing.At least he had a chance with you and was happy while he was alive,he could have gone to someone with no clue and been gone weeks ago.

Really sorry you have lost one of the babies. I doubt very much you did anything wrong.

Sorry to hear... You know your stuff when it gets to Oscars - not your fault.

Deaths are always bad, remember when a goldfish of our went a few years ago all my kids lined up in the garden to bury him.

Shoulder to cry on huh?

 

[minxfishy]

Oh hon, sorry to hear this, but I seriously doubt its your fault, likely had something wrong when you got him. How is the other one looking?

 

[bubble87]

sorry for your loss

 

[shelaghfishface]

thanks all.

mags hes looking fine... a little too fine infact.. he wouldnt have.. hes a nice boy

no honestly i agree he was prob poorley or had something about to hit him when i got them,, shame, but im not silly enough to think that these things dont happen

oh well, its just me n the lone ranger now then.

At that size I doubt he had anything to do with it

Get him a buddy in a few weeks once you know he's ok too, better to do it whilst he's young as you know

 

[shelaghfishface]

no i know he didnt , but they do say its the quiet ones you have to watch

lol

ah dunno, i may just stick with the one now.. whats the chances of me getting 2 to live together forever n ever

.. we`ll see

Sorry to hear of your loss. Hope the other one stays healthy
