    So sadly my 9 Year old Oscar has passed and is now in fishy heaven. He was ill earlier this year and made a full recovery but I think his organs had begun shutting down over the past 2 weeks. I found him on the bottom of the tank on Monday morning and took him out and gave him a epson salt bath and then left him on his own with a large airstone to try to make him comfortable. I raised the water temp slighlty and treated him for bloat, but sadly he passed last night at about 9pm.

    RiP Grumpy you will be missed but never forgotten!
