Yesterday I had the worst blow to keeping ever. in the past weeks I have now lost 23" aro, 22" aro, 17" fire eel..

and yesterday I lost a 14" black ghost, 16" indo dat and 10" indo dat..

all of this irreplaceble, yes ofcourse all fish are irreplaceble since I see them as persons and all but on top of that I'm in FU ING Sweden.. they just do not import these kind of fish over here.. all I have left now is a Channa marulioides a TSN and a clown knife in a 300..

this all started with gill flukes and the prazi turned the bio all over board and the allready torned gills just couldn't handle the lack of oxygen..

I don't really know how to go on... The two dats died in my hands last night biting a powerhead and I cried like a little girl when they turned dark and stiff.. this sort of killed it for me.. I know I'll be back in the game with full force but it seriously felt like 2 friends died in my arms last night..

tribute to all of them.. I'll just go shoot myself now..

I hope you are not serious about the shooting part. Bad things happen in life. I know it sucks but tomorrow is a new day. Take some time to get over your loss and maybe re think your current set up. Maybe you can find some other people in your area that would be interested in the more exotic fish and do a group order.


I am sorry for your loss.

If I were I'd not put up here.. but if you watch the vid you can see what percentage I lost..

2 aros, both dats, a fire eel, bgk, etc..
 
Don't beat yourself up too bad. The Aros and the ells are sensitive fish. I lost a 24" Aro for no reason. Still not sure why he died. Things just happen sometimes.
