Farewell, Pandamonium. We hardly knew ye

Pandamonium was a greatly loved panda cory catfish during his brief hours as a member of our community aquarium. The tankkeeper noticed soon after his arrival that he had a mild fungus on his fins. It was hoped that the anti-fungal medicine that is dropped in the aquarium every day might help the little guy beat his ailment, but he died overnight.

Pandamonium's body was removed from the tank Friday morning. No autopsy is planned. His remains will be returned to the pet shop so that a suitable replacement may be acquired.

The two surviving panda cory catfish are adjusting well to life in our community aquarium, and we welcome the newest bottom-feeders. They are a nice addition to our tank.
