went back for chem mock test yesterday, and a few of us popped by the classroom to check on the fishes. poor things. they were overfed and grumpy. and they were looking at us like we were coming to kill them. whoever's responsible for the torture of the fishes residing in c-305, may you fall into a hole in the ground and be lost forever.
there was food scattered all over the bottom of the tank, in various stages of decomposition. and one poor fish was so sick it couldn't even keep itself upright. after quickly assessing the situation, we did an emergency fish evacuation and cleared the whole tank of all the nonsense.
sick fish came home with me. yesterday it wouldn't eat anything despite incessant coaxing. and it was like, lying on it's side swimming around in circles. such a stupid fish, so thin already still dont want to eat. was damn worried. then i had a brainwave :D
i fed it LIQUID FOOD. hahaha. so it had no choice but to consume the food if it wanted to breathe. genius la pam.
so now it swims in a bowl, and meals are administered in a seperate container. the fish is being nice about having to transfer from bowl to container to bowl to... etc. it actually swims to my hand for me to carry it. so yea.. good fish.
i gave it a bit of physiotherapy today. HAHA.
you know what, i think my therapy worked. cos now instead of rotating in pathetic circles on its side, the fish actually stands on its fins and wobbles around the bottom of the bowl in an upright position. woah.
i make such a fantastic vet right. :)
k i'm off. have fun.
