My god... Today started off fine, i got up late a usualbut was feeling ready to get stuff done and then just as i go to sit down to eat my dinner what do i see?
One of my gold fish.. Floating doing the dead fish float..
I go and i grab fish and begin moving it around a bit to get flow around its gills. Its dead.. Im sure..
BUT then mouth twitch.. I begin to gently squeezing the fish, massaging it in my hand. It begins to start breathing again.. But that's just about all it can do.
I stand there at my tank holding my fish close to the water outlet, letting fresh water flow into its mouth.. For a good 30 mins i stood there.
My dad went and got my breeder box which we set up and suspended infront of the outlet and we put the fish in it.
I could rest. My arms and legs where getting tired.
Spent the next 2 hours monitoring the fish. Making sure it was still breathing
It wasn't until around 5 hours after everything started that my fish finally had the energy to keep itself upright and swim around safely.
Its now back to normal.. Its eating and swimming happily. Hopefully no further complications happen..
I dont know how long it sat there seemingly dead. I dont know what even happened..
A heart attack maybe? Did massarging the fish act like cpr? No idea..
Im just glad its alive and seemingly doing well. Ive had this fish for over 6 years. I hope itll stick around a little longer.
Now i just need to deal with my stress levels and.. Chill
