Caper Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi all! Haven't been here all week...son in hospital. Much to my this morning I found what was left my very first platty, The Little One. I'm :oops: to say that I didn't notice anything all week by the time I'd get home from hospital...all I wanted to do was sleep. I feel really bad that I did't pay more attention, I'd come home feed them watch for a few seconds (rare for me). I did a 25% water change, is there anything else I should do since it looked like the poor little guy was either half eaten or rotted by the time I noticed. Is doing a water change sufficient? Thanks all...and to The Little One...sorry I let you down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Sorry about the platy Caper. It sounds like you have done enough to protect the water quality though. Is your son OK now? Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi Caper.. Missed you Your family is the most important thing here.. and fish are replaceable.. so get your son back on his feet and once he is well again.. take him down the LFS and get another couple of Platies or something. Take care now Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks Jude & Pegasus My son was discharged today :bounce: :bounce: Starting today, he's allowed to eat soft food...before he was only on clear liquids! Oh...yes, family is always more important! But, I felt bad that I didn't notice anything wrong with my fishy. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LYNDYLOO Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi Caper, Really, sorry to hear about the loss of your wee Platty , Even more sorry to hear that your Wee Boy has been in Hospital, Sometimes other things take priority over our Fishies and sometimes we have no control over that, so dont be to hard on yourself, the main thing is that your Son gets better soon.
