Tezza Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 So, Had the spade out, was just about to bury my fish, Floating at the top, no movement, bent sideways. Noticed a eye flicker and i tiny gill movement, After reading differents posts on this forum, thought i'd try this.. I'd filled the family bath with water, to see what we could do. me and my two daughters aged five and twelve, held the fish upright in shifts for about two hours, amazingly his gills began to move again and slight mouth movements. If we let him go he'd fall on his side again. We decided to use to large jars in the bath to hold him upright. and checked him from time to time. Lights out went to bed, hoped for the best. To our surprise next moring he was happily swimming around the bath tub!! HAd a good chance to measure him, 30 cm long 11 Cm high 8 Cm wide. One tough gold fish, HAve now cleaned water in tank and hope i don't have to do this again. The girls named him Fiddy lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezza Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 We saved these 16 of these fish from a quickly drying up pond (Not ours). Put them in a large concrete pond, to try and save them. now that we've cleaned the pond, i hope have done so. Thnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
