Awww.... really sorry for your loss. May I ask what happened to him, or would you rather not say?

So sorry to hear that Is that actually it's grave? If so that's sweet.

can't say for sure
the DPs have been with me since August
all has been fine until early January, when Powder started losing weight, very slowly - no other symptoms at all - none
suspecting possible IPs, i started them (all) on food soaked in Jungle Fizz Tabs that i powdered & liquified, for 1 week
seemed a little better, filled out a bit, still eating ok, but not the progress i'd like to have seen
so after a few days, i repeated the treatment
still not much, if any, change
then, since i really didn't really have good results with the Fizz Tab regimen, i tried the API General Cure, both as a food soak & in the tank water
treated for 96 hrs, per directions
by this time, Powder, for the first time ever, stopped eating
one day later, gone............
we both fought a good battle
all the other DPs are in great shape & doing just fine
i think Powder just didn't have it in him
i'm a firm believer in Survival of the Fittest, and i think that that is what came into play here
we'll miss him

Thank you all so very much for your kind words
