I just had to euthanize my comet
The tumorous masses had somehow been gashed open. The first 24 hours I added seachem stressguard, hoping they would heal, but the next day they were torn up worse and I wanted to cry and throw up every time I looked at him.
Nothing had changed in the tank, but the masses had started to look 'fleshier' and may have become delicate- they were more firm previously. There was certainly a rich blood supply to the lumps. Maybe he was scratching them against things because they were irritating him. I don't know.
I used clove oil, and he went very quickly. I feel very sad, and will miss his ugly butt
He was the only big bright active fish I had.
I feel like I want to chuck out his tank so I don't have to see him not in it.
