for those of you that have been following my problem with this Bacterial
/ viral Gill disease ( it first hit in 2000 still not sure what
actually causes it, originally it was called Israeli disease ) there is
no known cure but certain meds help if used in time

anyhow it runs about a month and thats where I am
so far I have lost 35 of my fish the ones that are left still have no
apetite some days they eat a little some days they ignore feed
altogether they seem to be subsiting on the string algae however
probably as it is easyer to digest.

the most recent demises are not showing active disease but do have
considerable gill dammage (necrosis of the gill tissues)

from the reading I have done I feel I am extremly lucky to have any fish
left at all

and to all that have supported me through this THANK YOU I realy
appreciate it
