Meet Max. . .

Meet Max.







He is our pet goldfish.




We won him at STREET FAIR last year!





Our last street fair fish, Andre, lived a record life span (of a STREET FAIR goldfish), until we had to give him away to an undisclosed family member when we moved to town.




Max lives in a little fish bowl that sits on the back of our toilet. He leads a pretty interesting life as you can imagine.








Now, I am afraid we will be farewelling Max very soon.




He has what is called 'tail rot'.





The main symptom of tail rot is exactly what the name suggests; that the tail starts to rot and disintegrate. In severe cases there will be nothing more than stumps left of them.
So. . . .
. . . if anyone has any advice on caring for or what to do with a goldfish with tail rot, we are open to suggestions.

  1. Jane,
    I still think we should contact the vet about putting Max down. I hate to see him suffer like that.

  4. A small comment on the fish...FLUSH IT! A longer comment on that picture of Deacon. If he can have that much fun with whatever that is he is eating, I can't wait to see what he will do with his delicious birthday cake in just 3 weeks. Now that will be fun!
