Fish #157 is in trouble.

I noticed this morning it was sitting all along on the bottom. At noon it was swimming on top of the water. It was trying to eat but seemed to split out the food several times. It would occasionally lose control and swim heads down or just float along in the water. Each time it would regain it's balance and swim off a litle.

After watching it float heads down for a minute or so, I decided to net it out and put it in the fertilizer pit. But when the net got close it found the strength to swim away. I started adding salt after talking to Bill. Bill thinks there is hope still; maybe stressed out from the 48 hour trip.

Tonight I figured I would see it floating dead, but I didn't see it at all. I think it's found a place under or in the chimney tiles. Added more salt to .2. Will add more salt in the morning.
