He's almost certainly not going to make it, but I'm not going to
intervene *again.* I'll make sure this never happens again, though.

I'm so so sorry about your fish. I heard somewhere that the kindest
thing to do for a fish that isn't going to make it is to take them
out and immediately put them in the freezer. They die very quickly
there -- a humane form of euthanasia. I've had to do that for a few
of my fish.

You might think it's silly but I bury them out in my garden along
with other pets of mine who have died. It honors their lives rather
than simply flushing them down the toilet -- but that's just me.
:-) Sentimental for sure.

Be gentle with yourself.
