I have a fancy goldfish and I am extremely attached to him even though I've only had him since May 30th. He started to take food from my hand on June 6th and has done so ever since and gives me what I call "fish kisses" on my fingers whenever I'm messing around in the tank.
Call me loopy or crazy, but I love this little guy to death. :screwy: He's named Koehler, named after the black guy in the pic below from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. (I already lost his smaller companion two days after I bought them; he was named Twigg and he's named after the other pirate in the pic below) :cry:.
Anyway, to the point of this. Tonight when I was feeding them, I noticed he had a white spot on one of his back fins that hadn't been there before. I examined him closer and I think it may be the beginnings of ich, but I'm not 100% positive. I've isolated him in the only container I had...a bowl, unfortunately. The only other tank I have is full of mollies that are being quartined for 3-4 weeks and I didn't want him in there with them because they already have ich (most likely) and I didn't want to risk him getting worse (if he has ich) or getting it (if he doesn't). After I moved him and finished feeding the others, I went over and noticed him moping around his bowl and he won't come up and take food from me. I know for a fact he's unhappy and I'm very, very worried about him because I'm so attached to him. I'm treating him with QuickCure and I hope everything turns out all right. I don't want to lose him.
Yeah, I'm very attached to this guy...I'm weird, I know. Forgive my weirdness and my venting my worries here...
