Default Worse day ever....

I am by no means a wussy, but today as strong as i may think I am had to of been the saddest day and most gut awful day ever.

My goldfish tank had the most disturbing thing happen to it xmas day. I looked in and noticed my 4inch white goldfish had swelled up and his scaled were poking out.

I tried to treat him, as he got worse and worse his scales were falling off and getting very red. My girlfriend called the vet to see if they knew what was wrong and they said at this state even the most expensive medicine for the disease was a lost cause.

So as I read here, i filled a bucket with cold water placed it in the freezer for a half hour or so scooped this sad goldfish out placed him in the buch\ket and closed the freezer door.

Now I sit here waiting and typing.......

RIP

Sorry to hear that.

Culling, as i would say it is, is not a favored practice by myself.
