RIP Benvolio

[Aquarium1]

Benvolio, my acei with Columnaris has passed away. I believe he did so last night, because I didn't see him this morning. Anyway, I got melafix and prima fix today and I'm going to continue treating the tank, with salt and an aerator, as I see my other acei have already developed some columnaris on their mouthes.

You should have named him Mercutio. What a shame.
"No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a
church-door; but 'tis enough,'twill serve: ask for
me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man. I
am peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague o'
both your houses! 'Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a
cat, to scratch a man to death! a braggart, a
rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of
arithmetic! Why the devil came you between us? I
was hurt under your arm." Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare.

Oh well, you just can't stop nature, mate.

Thanks everyone. I do have one named mercutio (and one named Leonardo (DiCaprio), who played romeo in the newest version) however they are starting to develop columnaris on his lip. I started Melafix and Primafix treatment today, and I pray that it cures them.

Don't worry i'm sure, in good faith, they will pull through.

Here's to hoping! Good luck.

Thanks guys, although I can't help feeling a little down. I became quite attached to the little guy in the 3 days I had him.

So sad

 

[dkpate]

That sucks! You waited SO long for them too! Sorry about your little guy.

Yeah I know (to dk and etunes). I'm gonna try to call the pet store tomorrow. They only have a 24 hr guarantee but I tried calling thursday, the day after I got them, to tell her something was wrong but no one answered. My dad says if she doesn't give me a replacement I'm not allowed to get anymore fish there, even though it's like the only place that sells acei around here (and that isn't a chain store). I need to find a better store lol. I'd like to have 2 more acei although I don't wanna go through this again :/.

Sorry to hear that A1, he's in a better place now. Just keep your hopes high for your next two!
