I have never walked into a lfs and noticed cyanide caught fish, mostly because I understand that fish don't necessarily display symptoms of cyanide poisoning over the short term. Plus, I haven't a clue what to look for

Now, over the longer term, say a month or so after a fish goes into my tank, what are the symptoms to look for so I don't waste my time, money and emotional energy trying to save a fish that is ultimately doomed?
