Plague!:Tank treated with meds as fish drop like flies

Our community aquarium has suffered a number of fish casualties in the past two weeks. Tank officials today doused the tank with anti-fungal medicines after removing the bodies of a silver danio and sunburst platy from the troubled waters.

"We hate to incite panic, but we're obviously concerned," said TankKeeper. "To lose a fish or two every day over this extended period of time would be enough to alarm anyone. We are taking a very aggressive stand against whatever diseases lurk in our community."

Mrs. Howell, a sunburst platy who was added to our tank on Aug. 30, was discovered dead alongside a zebra danio at 11 a.m. Mrs. Howell gave birth Nov. 9 to the fabulous Brady Bunch six, a brood that to date is the biggest batch of fry ever to survive in our community aquarium. Mr. Howell survives. Both were owned by Dave Admire.

Tank officials have cancelled all tank events until further notice, and medications meant to overpower the unknown pathogen have been released throughout the aquarium. No baby releases will take place until further notice pending this fish health crisis.
