Hey Everyone!

It's me, Goldfish Goddess, Koko and Eveyone, thanks for all your help in trying to help me with Tiger - Lilly's fungus, fin rot, and not eating. She is slowing down at the left front edge of the tank. Poor baby, I feel so sad. sad.gif The good part, is that huh.gif she ate two bits of sprilara goldfish flakes last night from my finger. But tonight I think she won't because she is at the bottom and last night she was at the top. I feel so bad, and thinking that it was my fault, and I culd of protected her against the fin rot and fungus, dosen't make it any better. Do you have any suggestions on what to do? There is probably not many, because I'm afraid theres no real remedies on death. If you've of one, let me know, I sure could use one right now. As for now, I'm goin with the egular routine of cleaning the 5 gal hospital tank evey week, some of the water, and adding half a tablet of medication treating fungus, fin rot ..etc..for 10 U.S. gal and trying to get her to eat, and prying.

Worried, and unsure

At least she ate last night, even the litttle bit. Let's hope she eats tonight.

Yes, you asked before, but I do not mind answering again;
Tiger - Lilly usually lives in a 20 gallon Hagen aquarium with her three buddies: C, Paintbrush, and Princess. Her friend: Queeny: died a month or so ago. Currently living in the 5 gal hospital tank. A weak FUVAL filter with a sponge: no carbon. No gravel, but 2 plastic plants and a plastic tunnel. I have not recently checked the Annomia or Nitrite or Ph, I usually do a check today but today I was stressed out and needed a break from worring, and every - day life, although I was still stressed and worring about Tiger - Lilly. I clean the hospital tank every week about a half, and add half a tablet of Tank Buddies, medacation tablets, that treats 10 u.S. gallon for fungus, fin rot.etc. That's why I give her half. I'll have to clean it tomorrow. Since this weekend, I was stressed. No excuse I know.
No new fish added.

She has fungus and fin rot

She didn't eat last night and is slowing down an in the same place!
