View Full Version : Stupid fish or me?

I was feeding my fish just now and my male Cockatoo is slower than my other fish, so I usually feed him right of my finger. The fish food sticks to my finger long enough for him to grab it right before it starts sinking.

I usually put the food right in front of his mouth, but today he was too slow and it started sinking before he got any. I thought I'd poke him lightly to get his attention, but he came right out of the tank on my finger and landed on the carpet :rolleyes: I learned my lesson.

He seems ok and started eating as soon as I put him back in but his right Operculum fin (I had to look that up) is stuck to the side of his body. I'm assuming this will naturally fix itself?

Silly fish!

Yeah...the fin will be ok. Your fish just injured himself.

Thanks. Yeah he is ok, I had a look at him this morning and his fin is no longer stuck to his side. :)

Glad to hear. Lets hope he has learned his lesson. :D
