Bad day of fish keeping

[Pond9]

I’m pretty sure this is my fault. I came home checked everything water was under 20ppm nitrate almost clear on the strip 0 nitrite 0 ammonia and 7.3 ph. Looked over everything in tank everything’s in proper working order. I believe what happened is Sunday’s water change I went to high and filter wasn’t getting good oxygen flow and the two large sponges were not enough must have been gulping air got carried away in the pothos pushed the glass and went down. What a sh**ty way to learn this lesson. Hope it helps others

I've had this happen to a pleco before. Mine was in bad shape but did survive.

My big Morton jumped out but he didn't make it until morning.

When they've been with you for years it's always sad.

RIP Big Morton . . .

That's rough. Nice pleco. Your post does help. I'm gonna start locking the lids.

He was beautiful. Im so sorry for your loss. I know it isn't easy to just replace a friend that has been with you for years. They arent just fish in a tank.

HeHeh...I see you are a plecostomus, but Drogon was not.
I'm not familiar with that fish at all.
