Is it worth the trouble

[phidelt85]

Ok, I already know where Andrew stands on this one but I figured I'd ask anyway. I have this golden that has crashed. He became ill a while ago when I had a W/C problem; he hasn't recovered since. I've been doing daily large water changes and treating with metro. The problem is he's no longer eating. He is skin and bones but I just can't let him go. Should I try to force feed? IF so, what do I feed?

Imo,
Its not worth the trouble..:(...A fish like that will rarely turn around.....and in a weakened state is a potential breeding ground for diseases and parasites.

hth,

Thanks, you two. I think I will just cull him out, it's getting to be upsetting just looking at him.

Marie, you never fail to put a smile on my face. Big thanks. :)
