Paralized Diamond Goby?

[eyebedam]

So Somethings wrong with him. I know hes had a bad couple weeks. I ended up in my overflow & stayed there close to a month before I found him. I released him back into the display He swam abit then proceeded to hide for about 2 weeks under a rock. He would turn around a coule times aday. As of Monday he has been out. Just laying in the front of the display.

Here is whats odd & is making me wonder if hes paralized. Around the last 1/4th of his body is turning or has already turned black. Hes not moving around. He is breathing, moves his eyes & head. He wont eat not even brine shrimp. Im probably going to remove him & place him in 1 of my 2 sumps or should I just put him out of his misery?

Im sorry I dont have a pic. Im having issues with my photobucket account on my phone.

That sound really bad. I would go with the freezer method of putting him out of his misery.

I would look into other ways of euthanizing your fish. Putting your fish in the freezer is inhumane.

 

[eyebedam]

If I euthanize I'll just bop him with a hammer.

wow thats intense

 

[johnd651]

hammer or knife
fast and painless, i think that is the accepted method by the animal humane society

-sorry to hear about the fish though

If hes not doing better bye tomorrow Im putting him down. Hes breathing heavy just laying in 1 spot.

Wow the back half turning black does not sound good at all. Could be that in all the excitement of the overflow incident he damaged some internal organs. Poor little guy, at least he was well fed and cared for until the end.

 

[eyebedam]

Well he passed today. My wifes really bummed. At least he's not hurting anymore. He had been with me for 3 years. I rescued him from a 12 gallon nano cube.

Sorry to hear that. One of the strangest things I have ever heard.
