Hatchetfish gets the ax

Sadly, Betsy Wilhite's hatchetfish died over the weekend. The fish was diagnosed with ick late last week and on Friday was taken to Dorothy Jean Memorial Hospital. Medication was administered but the little silver fish never rallied.

Several community fish have died of Ick. So far, medication has failed to successfully treat a case of Ick among our fish.

Betsy's fish was buried at sea Monday morning. All events private.
