Tank is Cracked!!!

[NixMix]

I have been checking on my fish in the tubs and buckets throughout the day. They are doing alright so far. Planning on doing water changes each evening. I just have to get them through a week and a half.

Good news is that I got to handle my fish and compare the size to what I thought they were. My dat is larger than I expected! Yes!

Anyone have any idea that my largest fish, "Tiny", could have cracked the tank? She's about 14-15". Either a P. bifasciatus or P. synspilum. The tank footprint is 6' x 2' x 2'.

I'm wondering about this because I'm worried that I may have to rehome her and I don't want that but I understand the necessity of it if this is the case.

Not likely,probably would have injured the fish

no fish can crack half inch thick glass, unless it digs and allows a large rock in the tank to fall. and even then its iffy with 1/2 inch glass.

Red Devil who posts on here had her husband hit a 220g tank with half inch glass with a sludge hammer to dismantle it, and it didn't break through on the first swing. that says alot.

Interesting....I will keep that in mind.

Update on the situation: I just lost my firemouth and my EBJD. I'm really upset about my jack. Had him for 5 years and I just had to bag him up for the freezer. This really sucks.

I have another 6 days before my new tank arrives. Then comes the setting up and heating before any fish go in. You know how it goes.

Thanks.

Fish so far:
Rotkeil severum ok
Indo dat ok
BGK ok
P. bifasciatus ok
3 large clown loaches ok
Green texas ok
Tire track eel ok
EBJD dead
Firemouth dead

I check the tubs and buckets frequently each day so I know when one is having an issue.

Game plan for tonight is to move the clown loaches into their own bucket and do 100% water changes. I may move my bgk in with them.

I'm hoping no one else dies
