My Sohal decided to report to last night. Witness his last journey that lasted for about 15-20 mins.
First spotted him swimming a bit different like gasping for air and the mouth wide open and refuses to eat even his favourite market prawn.
Me sensing somthing is wrong (hoping that I might be wrong) but not sure what to do. Observed the other fish and LS all looked OK to me, feasting and munching away the market prawn that I had prepared for them .
Next thing I noticed, he start to drift and dash in the tank, bumping into things that's infront of him.
It lasted for about 3-5 mins and than I couldn't stand it any more, I net him out and placed him in the sump to have a closer look. Its seems like he isn't breathing as his grills are close though his mouth is wide open.
At that moment how I wish I can do CPR on him. After another min or 2 the fellow stopped all movement and his base colour (white) in a split second turn dark.
Fellow have been with me since Sep 2005 at about 5" in size and now 7.5".
Date and time of Death 17 Nov 2006 2am
He is now in my freezer. I'm thinking should I defrost it and perform an autopsy to fing out the cause of death. What puzzled me was that he was still chasing my sailfin the night before like all other days
Sad but what to do
