What is the point in this section?

[The-Wolf]

I had an emergency last night one of my fish was swimming upside
and within 15 mins it was dead

The point is that within this time 10 people looked at my message and no one replyed. I realise that you are not all online all the time but surley one of those 10 would've had some ideas of things I could've done. I do not see the point in calling this an emergency section, if no one replys to your postings.
You may as well call it "post here and no one will answer!"

I am obviously upset at this time and feel let down by this forum.

Sorry to hear about your fish danio2004

It appears that some people have replied to your post now, albeit too late to save your little guy. I think a lot of time people are wary to make a post in this section because they simply dont have the experience or knowledge to help you, and dont want to give bad advice and end up making the situation worse for your fish. I know thats what I do, I just hope that someone with more experience and knowledge will be online soon to be able to help you.

If you need instant help you could always see if anyone is online in the live chat to get some immediate responses, but again, there is no guarantee that anyone will be able to help. Sorry that you feel let down

If your fish died within 15 minutes of posting then I'm afraid it was already probably too far gone for any of us to help. I don't think anything anyone said could have saved your fish.

Sorry to hear of your loss

I am sorry for your loss. But i have to agree with william that if the fish died that quickly then there was little anyone here could do except what we are doing now which is to offer our heart felt condolences for the passing of your finned friend.

The point of this section as you know is to try to help others solve the emergencies that arise in this hobby. These often take days and weeks to solve and get the fish back to health. If you have a problem in the future you will appreciate this section as an awful lot of people look at the posts here in hope that they can provide some form of wisdom that will help cure one of our fish. I hope that you see that there was little anyone could have done for your fish and perhaps those that viewed your post did not feel they had anything helpful to contribute and therefore decided it best to not respond rather than to respond with "i cant help but..."

I hope that your remaining fish live long and happy lives as you obviously care very much about them. Remember that we also care and will do what we can to help at any time. Once again i am sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your support.
I hold no one to blame I just feel helpless at times like these.

I realise that the fish dieing that quickly there proberbly wasn't anything to do but I
have never been in this situation before, so i panicked.

If this posting has offended anyone then I am sorry, that was not my intension. I was blowing off steam.

To Bossy (leoprad Danio) may you RIP
