Yeah that spiked my interest and I began researching it. I lost a fish while I was away 2 weeks ago I wish I had been home. Nothing but a bone yard was left. No other fish have become ill and I can not explain what happened. Here we go More contraptions to sell us, Our fish scalpel Next we will be sending samples to the Lab!

Of course! If it dies while in your care you owe it to your other critters to at least give it an educated guess. When I tear open a little dead clam and its just about gone inside but nothing is tore up I would say I starved it to death. Im sure as He@# not going to starve the next one! Then Im gonna clean it out, let it sit in the sun for a week and put it where Im going to see it everyday. Its staring me in the face right now!

Yes, and when I open the freezer I am going to see that hawkfish that died 2 days after I bought it. I saved that also. This reminds me to put livestock on layaway for at least a few days and to ask to see it fed and eat before I bring it home. Some might call it a little over the edge but I also turn my filter socks inside out and return the copepods to the tank.

You could have it mounted & hang it on the wall over the tank as a reminder!!

If I was making fun of you I'd be on your case for keeping the fish in your freezer & not having it as sushi!! Then again you might be waiting to get a few more & have them as appetizers!!
Trust me, over the years I probably would've had enough to fill a stand up freezer!
