Colin:'(this is a devastating story -
One of my many fish Colin, got fin rot, and was swimming on his side pathetically for weeks, and also couldnt reach any of the food that was floating on the top or at the bottom of the pond. One of his fins was completely rotted away, and he was nearly dead, but (and I believe the chances are about 1,000,000 to 1) he survived. And was just getting better when he was sucked up by the filter pump, horribly mutilated and electrocuted, and spat out onto the lawn in 3 main bits, where he received an 'organic' burial ie was ripped to shreds by pigeons and the odd heron. :'(
