[pets] smart and strong goldfish


Our fat goldfish "xiao bai" is sick.
She's been lying at the bottom of the tank for a long time, but getting serious these two days, she can barely move around. After spending some time on web, i think she got some disease called "swim bladder disorder."
I started with adding about 2 tablespoons sea salt in the tank (about 10 gallons), and she started moving a bit. Then I got her this hospital net hanging on the side of the tank she could stay in with less water pressure. I also add about 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom salt as advised.
Hopefully she'll get better tomorrow..
I know she's strong and smart, and will get through this...
