Fish Rescue Scotland

[Gavin Orr]

Hi guys, In November I registered with "Fish Rescue Scotland" an organisation that helps fish lovers re-home all kinds of fish regardless of the reason.
I am happy to say that yesterday I completed my first rescue for a local guy, who had a pond which collapsed.
He lost a couple of his 4 year old comets and didn't want the other two to die.
I rescued them, one is about 8 inched long (4 years old) and the other is about 4 inches long (2 years old).
They are in my quarantine container at the moment and seem to be doing fine.
Thankfully the temperatures are back up in the pond, and I am happy to say that it looks like most of my own fish have survived the winter and are swimming around.
I will be looking to introduce the rescues to the pond in a couple of days when I am sure they are infection free, and the results of their scraping come back.
They were a bit stressed, but seem to be settling now, and are starting to eat wheatgerm food. Please keep your fingers crossed for them.
I will keep you all informed.
