Don’t die… I need you
Well, one of the cory cats is about to die. He’s been really listless lately, his skin’s been getting really dark, and we noticed that his fins were getting a bit ragged… apparently he was letting the other fish nibble at them without complaining. Just now, I found him being sucked against the tank filter, not moving, and I thought he was gone. But when I tried to net him out of the tank for his funeral, he came back to life and started zooming around the tank like a spastic chimpanzee… but in more of a berserker fashion than anything else. At times, he was swimming upside-down. He finally came to rest on his side, at the bottom of the tank (after having taken a breather against the tank heater, also on his side), so I fished him out and put him in his own little bowl, covered by a glass cutting board to protect against cats, to await the end.
