I'm so mad right now! Just came down stairs to check on all of my tanks and feed my fish before I went to bed. Fed the first three tanks. Then I got to my 30gallon that had a 6" JD a 2" kenyi and a 2" jewel. Dropped a chunk of plankton in with them. Watched the jewel and JD eat for a minute and then I wondered "..Where is my kenyi?" I stuck my hand in the tank and it was like 95 degrees! I quickly looked in the big castle thing that he always hides up in and he fell right out. Really stiff with his mouth wide open. He either got lost and couldn't find his way out or the heat got him. It didn't even seem to phase the JD or the jewel though. I hurried up and swapped a bucket of water with cold water and unplugged that @#$%^&$ piece of garbage heater I had.
This is the 4th fish I've lost in like 2 months..
first one was my big JD that got sick/beat up and I couldn't heal.
second one was a cory about 5weeks ago, I accidentally added like 4x the amount of dechlorinator/stress coat to his tank. But it didn't affect the 10 feeders I had with him so I'm not sure if that was it.
third was a texas that died within 8 hours of me getting him home from the store, my hybrid might have been what killed him but his fins didn't look too rough.
lastly is the kenyi.
The worst part is that I don't have a back up heater that I trust right now and I have been waiting forever for my girlfriend to order me 3 new heaters off of bigals for Christmas. I'm mad but I know that I got lucky. I have no idea how the other two fish lived in 95degree water. I bumped the heater up a hair three days ago and I know for a fact it was fine last night. I have just had terrible luck lately. Within the past 2 months I've also lost my wallet with $40 and all my cc's and membership cards in it, had to replace some parts on my car, slid into a curb and bent up my rim while it was icy, and got my first speeding ticket driving on a bent rim. I also got scammed $65 on a deposit for a fish tank so I have to take this lady to court now. It is not my year.
