Anyway, after I posted my last msg this morning, I found one loach not moving - dead :
. I know it is not wise to add stress to the remaining one, but either way he may have a better chance in the new tank (no goldfish & no medication). I pray he'll make it & then will carefully administer medication. As of now, I can't detect any spots on him. This is getting really frustrating and I hate to see any animal suffer.I blame myself for being so ..... STUPID. Some things I simply didn't know and weren't told, but I should have done my research first.
I really hadn't intended on fish, we already got dogs, parrots, horses, goats and a couple of cows. I somehow ended up "rescuing" the goldfish from our son who "just wanted fish" - but carelessly set up everyting wrong and the fish would have died within a short period of time. After a pretty bad argument, I took over caring for them. The closest Petsmart/Aquarium store is 50 miles (one way) away in Flagstaff; we only have a Supercenter Walmart here in Winslow. Between bugging Petsmart,etc with questions and doing some computer research, I had been left on my own. Just an explanation, not an excuse for my ignorance. Glad I found this board. I really love watching the little khulis and would like to set up an exclusive tank for them. They are more adorable than the fish to me
.Sorry for this long post - had to vent a little.
