I lost my 4 bass that were in there. The Tem. Sparky and the 2 sigh hinders.
I live in a rural area .I raise birds .Phesants and quail and chickens. So I have feed that attracts rodent well it looks like a mouse
Chewed through the out put hose, thus draining the tank . It looked like it was dry about 1inch. of water left. All the bass were dead
the smaller oscars were still kicking but my two large ones were exhausted. This all happened while I was asleep. Got up ,went to feed the animals and found it. All the Oscars made it the big guy my big male had a ruff three days but he's ok now. This was 6 days ago. No more hoses, from now on its all pvc. or steel piping.
If I did not have my 7 smaller grow outs I think I would of call it quits on PBass.????????

I'm not calling it quits . Still building the 8+4+3 should be done by spring. Or sooner. Building it right the first time, with a hell of a lot of safe gards.
I'm tired of loosing large fish I also lost the white koi that was with them. He was 18" and the tem was a solid 20" ,Sparky? was 16 3/4 " he was like loosing a dog or cat.
 
damn sorry bro, best of luck getting the tank back up and running
