Take A Step Back And Decide ???
It is a sad day for myself and hubby. Probably the worst few weeks we have had in this hobby.
It really makes you sit back and say "what next "
About 2 weejs ago our Kole Tang got something stuck in his mouth that he was unable to remove, causing him to stop eating get weaker and other fish then started picking on him.
He got a bit of ich and we found him dead a week later.
Then the shit hit the fan.
The ICH, (we had been completely ich free till this moment)
So even after moving on all agressors & avoiding ICH for 6 weeks we now have lost
Kole Tang
Flame Angel
Powder Grey
Lipstick
My mated dragonets are covered in ich and not eating, so don't like their chances,
Our laying clowns are also covered, male eating, female not.
Our existing Blue tang has been hiding for couple of days, can see him moving in cave but is not coming out to eat so not a good sign
2 x yellow tangs and 1 x purple have a few spots but are acting normal.
So between selling and ICH we are right back to were we started originally before the QT and order of 10 fish we added.
1 purple tang extra and that's it.
We are now treating with Polylob Medic twice a day, double dose to try and save remaining lives.
So from here,
Do we sell ?
Do we run fallow ?
Do we just shut down and think ???
Its not the money, its not the hassle, we love this hobby, its the loss of these beautiful creatures at our hand.
We honestly feel like the biggest failures ever !!!!!!! Been in tears for days, every morning I get up finding another dead fish..
Yet we tried so hard to do the right thing.
:( :( :(
