Update on the Fish

Well, I think the fish is doing better today. He still likes to stay in that corner where the heater is. He ate four pellets tonight, so that's good. I seem him using both fins sometimes, not always only one fin. I'm going to watch how much he swims around and Ill update you in a few minutes here.

He does seem to be swimming around some. I think he's doing the best out of all the fish that I've put through the paces. I think it's partially because (I believe) he hasn't sustained any internal injury. I'm not sure, but I think so. That should help him tremendously. He still swims slowly, although less slowly than yesterday, but he does seem to get around. I've noticed he favors the top corner near the heater, and also the other corner on the other side (horizontally).

He doesn't stay on the bottom and stand still for a long time like he was doing somewhat yesterday. His swimming is not quite smooth, but it's not as jumpy as I've seen it before, either. Overall, I think he's doing very well for a fish that's been through what he's been through. You almost wouldn't know that by watching him.

It's amazing to me to see that a fish could take all that stress ans appear like he was before the next day. I suppose if the fish has not been physically injured, it has the power to regain its stamina and strength. I wonder what it gets out of swimming back and forth sometimes. Although I have read this can be a sign that it's bored. But it doesn't always do that. So I think it's looking pretty good for this fish right now, much better than I expected after yesterday.
