The one thats dying is actually quite special to my girlfriend, so if its dies all i'll get is tears for days so it looks like i'm off to Pets At Home!

Generally i hate pets at home, staffed by idiots.

Maybe a little drop of brandy might pep him up.

'Have been told' - by whom? What are the symptoms?

If you add antibiotics into the water you will potentially kill all the nitrifying bacteria in your filter which will result in an ammonia spike causing serious tissue burns. Antibiotics need to be administered with careful consideration.

Administering alcohol into water containing fish, particularly sick ones, will most likely kill them. Please explain why advising members to kill their animals is acceptable.
