And I’m not entirely sure what to do about it. He is in the process of starving to death, but it’s not because of a lack of food. He seems to have lost some of his eye to mouth coordination. When I feed him, he sees the food, and he attempts to eat the food, but he keeps missing it. Most of the time instead of getting it into his mouth he knocks it away. It’s like watching Tantalus and it’s incredibly upsetting.
Now I’m faced with a bit of a moral dilemma. Do I go ahead and slowly let him starve to death, just waiting for the day when he’s floating lifeless at the top of the tank or do I go ahead and send him to a speedier death?
I’m not liking my options.
