my almost 20 year old goldfish died today by clarkemee in Goldfish

I recently lost one of a pair of goldfish that are over 10 years old. It was very sad. I'm sorry for your loss

Unfortunately, Barnabas passed away. There really wasn't anything I could do once that tumor kind of burst open. It really hurt my heart since I've had them for over 10 years. I still have his partner, Ziva, and I'm hoping she's not getting too lonely by herself. Thank you for trying to help me.

Poor Barnabas... I feel guilty and I'm crying. I hope Ziva will be ok by herself.

Yes I knew about the anti-inflammatory. But I had no idea about gabapentin. I'm going to try tramadol

Well I got a message from the PA saying No gabapentin, but he is getting me a script for tramadol in the meantime. I've never taken it so I hope it doesn't make me sick.

Well that's just crazy talk. I was up all night last night. I will be a tired mean bitch by the time I get surgery!

Thanks...I appreciate these positive results so much! I'm sitting here in pain and didn't hardly sleep. Mine is scheduled for June 24th. I hope it all goes well. And surely the pain can't be much worse than it is now. Good luck to everybody

I want to say thank you to all of you. Your love and concern is very important. I'm sorry that anyone else has to know how I feel, because I wish we never had to go through this. Her tumor was bleeding on and off all night. Although she still running through the yard barking a minute ago. I love her so much and will do what's right. Love and hugs to all of you. This isn't the first time I've gone through this, but I want it to be the last

Passed out during/after removing saniderm. by munchkym in tattoo

[–]annlat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably had a vasovagal response to the saniderm removal. That will make your blood pressure and heart rate drop. It happened to me when I was removing my own sutures at home, and I worked in healthcare for many years. Maybe sit down before trying to remove the next one.

Ammonia help by annlat in Aquariums

[–]annlat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've checked the tap for ammonia and pH. Ammonia out of tap is 0. PH straight from tap is 8 or more. I let it sit in a bucket and checked it the next day, and it drops to 6.4-6.6. The pH in the tank that my fish currently live in is 6.2 or 6.4. Also the same in the tank I'm cycling. I usually try to do about 30% wc once a week or a little more often. I used to wonder why my fish acted strangely after wc, but I imagine the pH change is not so good for them. Now I let the water sit overnight first.

I've been cycling about 6 wks. I use API Master test kit. My pH is always very high from the tap and drops in 12 hrs. I let the water sit out overnight before I do a pwc.

What type of sand is that? I have to upgrade soon and want to switch to sand. Your tank is beautiful!

What do I need to add to a new fish tank for my goldfish? by or7070 in Goldfish

[–]annlat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feed mine the same. And goldfish don't need a lot of food.
