Ahh fish.

I came home, the first time in a month, to my new fish babies, and fish.

Only to:
1. See that both tanks were dirty.
2. Find a dead fish floating at the top of my adult tank
3. Notice that there was only ONE fish now left in my adult tank out of 5 when I left.
4. See that the last remaining fish has ich.

So with this information I got mad that my mom wasn't telling me that the fish were dying. I knew one died but not 4 although, she claims 2 and the one that died tonight.. So a fish is missing according to her.
I then proceeded to look for this parasite medicine I had, which didn't think would work but I wanted to read the box. It's been lying around the basement forever only now its missing.
I then decided to take out the last fish and clean the tank. Hoping that the ich would go away too. At least in the water, I knew I'd have to get medicine in the morning regardless.
After taking out allllll the water and cleaning it, the Ich remained. I felt really bad putting the fish back in that water but I don't have another tank and it is the only one left. :\
I then took on the job of cleaning the baby tank. So far no Ich in there. Thank goodness because they are my only chance for survival of my guppy family tree. Next time I come home I'll have to try to find a healthy male fish at the store so hopefully they will have babies again and also that way I don't have any imbreeded fish.

I'm just so mad my mom didn't tell me. And I have been home since 10:30 and have been doing this for the past 2 1/2 hours!!

And as much as I want to take them back with me even more now... I guess I will leave them before causing them any more stress by taking them in a bumpy car ride :(
