-•:**:•:.I'm back!!!!!!!..-•:**:•:-... with sadnes
Sorry I haven't been keeping up with blogs. I got a cold.. so...
Well, Ghost, my very special (although, when you have 6 fish in a 20 long you do get to know all of them pretty well) angelfish died sometime last night. Two days ago I didn't go down to the basement at all because I was just laying around and stumbling up to get some soup, and yesterday when I went down he wasn't up there at the front with the others. I looked and looked, and then found him floating around.
Was he dead? No.
He was just hanging in there, being blown around in the corner by the bubbler. So I moved him to a breeder trap, and he was sort of floating towards the surface, and jusssst barely moving his gills.
His fins were ragged and grey, and his dorsal fin was red at the end.
Maybe you won't get it, but I had been looking for a few years for any, just any gold angel. When we did get these four angels, I though Ghost was a Ghost angel (I know, original name, huh?) And he wasn't that great when we got him either. He was one of those veil-tails, but his caudal fin was 24/7 clamped up. So I moved him to a breeder trap and pampered him and all, and in a week, his caudal fin was all nice and spread out.
So, okay. I fixed up our ghost angel, but I still didn't have a gold, right? Wrong. Months later, when I had pretty much forgotten the whole gold angel thing, I was looking at the fish and then I was pretty much jumping up and squealing that I had a gold angel. Turns out he was a :late gold, the kinds that don't become gold until they are fully mature. Oh, happy days.
Anyway, he died yesterday, in the same breeder trap. Sort of funny, in a sad way. I bought him on February 13 (yeah, I keep logs of that sort of stuff =^^=), and he died August 27.
But anyway, that's my obituary for poor Ghost.
pH is still high, although the rainwater did bring hardness down, although the softener water could've down the same exact thing for us. Grrr. |
