My poor neon tetra. I keep waiting for him to die naturally, but he just lay on the bottom of the tank for days, still alive, just shifting around, fading away. I couldn't stand it. I finally looked up how to euthanize him humanely. The recommendation for a tropical was to put him suddenly into very cold water. I put a little bowl of water in the freezer till the top froze over, then broke the ice and put him in. I wasn't brave enough to watch him, so I set the bowl on the counter and left the room. When I came back a little later, he was gone. It made me sad, but I felt like I was helping him.
The angelfish are still alive and still peppy, though the fungus isn't gone. If they start lying on the bottom, I'll know what to do now.
Later today I'll take a water sample to PetSmart and hopefully find out what's wrong. Maybe they can be saved.
I had the day off yesterday for Good Friday, so I took the opportunity to get a few things done. I got my hair cut ($17 with tip), I made an appointment for an eye exam (two weeks away), and did my grocery shopping. I spent $35 and my ten items were: applesauce, Italian bread, rolls, mac & cheese, cat food, laundry detergent, almond milk, cheese slices, deli turkey slices, and blueberries. Six of the items were on sale and I saved $8. Not only that, I found .13! But I gave a dollar to a panhandler.
I also did a load of laundry for $1.50.
I found a $5 coupon for PetSmart, so maybe I can use that today. I'm almost tempted to count it as a snowflake!
RIP Little Neon
