Minus one fish

[serenissima]

I went to the pet store last night to buy medicine, but the clerk advised me to was to euthanize the sick fish as a precaution, to protect the others. This was an option I'd already been considering. I bought the medicine anyway in case I need it later. So I went home and set about removing the illin' one from the aquarium. This turned out to be the toughest part of the evening, as my target proved to me that it could still swim perfectly well. I ended up pulling out half the plastic plants so they didn't get in the way of my net. I decided to put the fish in a glass jar temporarily, thinking there might be a possibility it would recover, but when I got home today it was upside down and not moving. Oddly, its colors were still bright.

I'll be keeping a closer eye on the rest of the fish than I have been lately. Unlike when I just got the tank started, this hasn't upset me much.
