Here's his little story in case you don't remember, or don't wanna read that huge long topic...
Here he is still in his little cup:
I discovered him @ the petstore.. he could barely get up to the top of the cup to get air - and he had been in the store for at LEAST 17 days that I know of. It broke my heart, because I didn't have the room to take another one in and try to nurse him back to health right then.. Then Grulla came along, just like a super hero B) and saved him.... took him home and gave him a great little tank. When he got into the tank, he couldn't swim or keep himself upright - he dragged himself around the bottom and barely could get up to the top of the tank. He also laid over on his side. Here he is in the tank:
I brought out some Maracyn Two to see if we couldn't get him rid of whatever it might be causing his swim bladder problem. I thought it might be an infection, we just decided to get him a plant and some maracyn two. Shortly after he came to live with Grulla, she discovered this from him:
She just sent me an email this morning... and here is little Eeyore now:
It appears as if he's made a full recovery - he's swimming just like a normal fish now. Must be all that TLC he's getting out there.
Nice job, Grulla.
I'm such a proud Auntie!
