only if you could have brought her inside for treatment into a large

Poor thing. Brenda was a goldfish who started to get fatter and fatter
to
the point where she look like a seal with a very rough skin. At first, I
thought she was full of eggs, but although there was a lot of mating going
on in the pond, none of the males was interested in Brenda, She stopped
eating and spent most of her time panting near the surface. There is
always
a bubbler going.

I eventually got her out, and gently held her. She was hard. And poor
Brenda died this morning.

Should I have treated her differently.

Thanks




Thanks for the replies.
