My fishie almost died 8-(

he got a pebble stuck in his mouth and couldnt spit it out. i knew he was a goner if i didnt act. i tried to catch him to lightly squeeze him but he was too fast. so i picked him up with the net and raised him above the water a couple times. the 2nd time he convulsed enough to spit out the rock.

couple days later and he is still just fine.

I had some koi goldfish for 5 plus year and suddenly one by one they all got ick. I now have some tetras that are about 5yrs old.

fish mom goggles and I must have fed him too much. Or maybe my roommate was feeding him too. She was dishonest I later found out. The fish's name was George.
