Well, to my astonishment, this morning the butterfly is swimming around. I'm surprised because last night he was opaque, listless and unresponsive to his surroundings. Usually with butterflys, at least IME so far, they go from "Oh, something looks off" to dead within a couple of hours. So to see him pull out of that funk is not something I expected. Remains to be seen where we go from here though, of course.

And .. well, I guess the lieutenant tang decided to take matter into his own hands and solved his own ich problem ... or rather, made the ich situation irrelevant. He jumped.

FML.

So sorry to hear this Tony.

Yeah. Unfortunately the butterfly didn't make it through the day, although I wasn't really expecting much on that. So it's down the last fish now, he's got the cloudy eyes like the others so I'm thinking it's a matter of time.

So, I'm sort of left wondering if this is an epic fail of a QT, or if I maybe dodged a bullet by not exposing my current livestock. I'm not sure. I feel very stunned and drained though, I'll say that. I never learn, I'm always optimistic.

Anyhow went and bought some cupramine. Taking Marie's point to heart in that it's never over until it's over, and this is something I can do different, so we'll see.
