OK he is a week old Blue spotted jaw fish
today came home a found him out of his hole in a rock cave area.
his swimming is poor some times on the side.
I pulled him from the main tank and found very easy to net.
his fins did not elonging from his body and the gills were heavy breathing panting fast rate. placed him in to a plastic container and added a air stone so i could go look on line for help.
not five min past pulling from the tank I asked the wife to go over a describe the fish and she says "he looks dead" MMMmm ok i looked in and the poor guy was rolled over not moving or breathing just perhaps a death shimmer.. what happed he was so happy yesterday.. I did the deed and placed him in a small cup a talk of good by as placing the cup in the freezer the human way i have been told to put down a fish? I am now looking at the tank for cause of this tragic story.
