......well....

Within two weeks of the fishy post we lost 3 of our new fish. Lollipop, Spot & Diego all came home with "Ich" and quickly started showing signs of being very ill. They also made Pistol Pete(the black one) sick but with a lot of TLC he's still holding on. He's been on a routine of having to have 25% of his water changed daily by "vacuming" the rocks to remove any "Ich" eggs, adding salt to maintain a .03% level to kill the newly hatched, being fed every 3-4 hours to keep up his weight (yes fish strugle with it too-him having to add a little)...It was harder then having a newborn! Babies are sooo much easier!

But now he is doing well, I no long have to wake him from his constant sleeping to eat, and we can no longer see his little fishy ribs - hopefully he's made a full recovery!
