Rosemary Losing Weight.

[chris]

Hi,
I wonder if you can help me.
Rosemary shows no signs of being sick (no fungus, stress) that I have seen, but she is loosing weight.
I have read earlier postings on weight lost and their axies aren't eating.
Rosemary is still eating, worms and pellets on alternate feedings. Her appetite is good.
I have checked water conditions and temp but they are ok.
She is a tank with three others and they are all fine, all looking healthy and plump.
I would like to know if this is the norm or is something nasty developing???
It has me stumped???
She has always been on the plumpish side but now is looking not overly thin but thin for her.
If you know what I mean.
Any suggestions would be greatly accepted.
Cheers,
Chris.

Rosemary's Condition Update:
She has now been put in a "hospital" tank on her own.
She is still eating well but her weight has dropped since my last post.
I am feeding her every day to see if she adds a little weight. Her appetite is still good.
I am still stumped.
Again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris.

Rosemary's condition update 2.
Rosemary has been in the "Hospital" tank
for what seems a long time.
Her appetite is still good and eating well.
Her weight is still dropping dramatically.
Rosemary passed away this early this morning.
Am still unsure what was wrong with her,
will probably never know!!
Chris.

That's unfortunate, Chris. I'm sorry to hear that.

It may have just been something wrong with an internal organ. Say with cancer for example, people or animals with that loose alot of weight. Maybe it could have been something like that?

Thank you Kaysie, Courtney
and Kapo.
It may have been internal organ
damage, Courtney.
I will never know!!
Cheers,
Chris.
