Every day I drive my car it's a risk... but I don't drive 50 mph over the speed limit with a blindfold on and no seat belt.
I'm not "upset" with the original poster... I feel for you and it sucks to lose a fish. But ultimately you put them together in a tank and it's our responsibility as a fish keeper to make sure they are as safe as you can. They aren't pairs of shoes... they are alive, buying 2 just to up your "odds" is LAME.
You could have 100% prevented this from happening by not housing them together to begin with. This isn't "my heater died and killed my fish" or "my eel jumped out of my tank even after I tried to secure the lid."
This is you saying "I had a fish that was likely to kill another fish I kept with it but I did it anyway... and guess what? It killed it."
