Sadly about a month ago, it suddenly stop eating. I have no idea why it suddenly stop eating. It was weird that greedy little fish don't eat. When I looked at it, it's stomach seems bloated and it always stayed at the bottom of the tank.
Initially, I thought maybe it was pregnant or something but later after about a week, I realised that it doesn't look right, it looked like it was ill. I saw that it's eyes began to look pop-out and it's body and face seems swollen. I began to think that it might be getting some kind of disease or illness. So, I quickly treated it with salt to see if it's illness could be healed.
Yes, I think that the salt treatment helped because few days after the salt treatment, it seems better. I saw that it began to swim a little even though it still stayed at the bottom of the tank most of the time.
However after about a week, when I thought that it was getting better, it's condition suddenly turn bad. It began to lose control of itself when it began to lay down but occasionally, it would swim and sit upright.
As the week passed, it's condition worsen as it began to lay down all day. About two days later, it looked like it was struggling to sit upright but it can't managed to. It looked weak as it was sick and have not been eating since then. Looking at it suffering and struggling everyday was such a pain.
Today morning and afternoon, I saw that greedy little goldfish still lay down the whole day. But in the evening, 18 April 2013, it passed away. I feel really sad but I think it's better to let it go sooner than suffering in it's illness.
Good-bye greedy little goldfish. You are such a strong little fish trying really hard to survive. I know you are strong and you like to eat. I will remember you forever, Good-bye.
