Fish Update
Well Sonic is moving around today, which is a good sign. His fins are still down though. Unfortunately, his skin is looking worse. He's still not eating.
I have been quite shocked at how blasé people are being.
- It's only a fish.
- Why don't you just get another one?
Well I've had this fish for 10 years. Tell me what your reaction would be if I had said it was my dog or cat? It's a living creature; it doesn't have to be a mammal for you to care about it!

My pleco was lethargic and fins down a couple of months ago. I started giving the fish a little more dark time and watched the overfeeding and he perked up. I think he may also be getting big enough to need to have the tank upgraded. I am glad Sonic is better. Fish are just as much family as cats and dogs.
Thanks Alicia. I've cleaned his filter and removed the ornaments from the tank. Hopefully he'll keep getting better.
