I've got Ick

So my experimental fish started dying, I thought it was due to an external parasite but now know it's due to a fungus called Ick or white spot or here they call it Itch.  A fungus that I treated the fish for when I first brought them into the lab but now I know I should be treating them every 3 weeks or the following happens...more fish were dying, then I saw the fungus and treated the fish for it at 10 pm on Thursday and by 8 am Friday 17 out of 35 fish were dead.  So yesterday I euthanized the rest of my fish and ended my experiment 2 weeks early.  We think that my parasite needs 5 weeks to develop so I'm not sure if any of them will have matured at this point.  My supervisor keeps talking positively (I think for my sanity) and says I might still get data and I'll know how much the parasite grows at this time and what the infection success is and if the fluorescent dye lasts this long, yadda, yadda, yadda.  I'm taking some time for myself today to recharge...slept in, rang home, doing errands, have a coffee date and going out for a friend's b-day tonight.  But I'll be back in the lab on Sunday for a full day of dissections.  Oh yeah, it's day light savings tomorrow so we Spring forward...damnit, I need every hour I can get these days!
