My sick Bolivian ram has gone to the big tank in the sky. Somehow he survived the night but was too weak to even flap his fins, much less swim or eat. In fact, I was in the process of netting him out when I realized he was still alive- twice. I never thought he would make it that long. It was really hard to watch. I called home on my lunch break and found out he was still alive and suffering, so I went home then and the only thing I could think of to do was to euthanize him. It was awful and I bawled my head off. It's so much easier just to find them dead.
I'm hoping it was just from old age. I lost his original tankmate, Itchy, a couple of weeks ago (they were purchased at the same time and I had them over a year).
