Hi guys. It wasn't very long ago that i wrote about don juan having a terrible fungus on the left of his face, and that my poor golden Pablo hasn't eaten since January.
I got some great advice on here, and found a good aquarium guy here who advised to put a blanket over the tank as well as water change and salt.
I've now got the fungus on his face under control and slowly healing over... My water temp I am finally maintaining at about 20-22 through the day.
However, pablo is still stressed. Still has his/her gills curled right forward, and getting skinnier and weaker all the time. Today, she's laying with her mouth open and the colour around her eyes is unusual (in that it's a darker orange than the rest of the body). I really fear she is dying.
As a last resort, i've put her in the fridge in a container of her tank water but as I've never done this before, I'm paranoid that maybe it's going to be too cold and I'll kill her.... Yes, i know they tolerate cold water but I'm sure you can understand... I think I just need some reassurance.
I tried to force some beef heart into her tonight, but alas... ...she spat it out. I really don't want to lose her.
At least Don Juan is doing better and eating as normal. He isn't suffering as far as I can see, no gills forward and still as perky as an axolotl can be!
Any help is always greatly appreciated... Thanks, Jodi
