Dead black aro.....

It was a nice and perfect Black Aro!
Maybe I have killed more black aros in my life than most people will ever owned in their lifetime.
I do noticed that out of 5 that I have lost (I have had 4 in one tank at one point), 1 was eaten by TSN, 2 were lost within 2 days after I received them from being shipped in, 1 was PURELY my stupidity (in process of moving the tank, I temporarily put the aro and a dat in a bag lined bucket. I tied the bag to prevent it from jumping. The dat punctured a hole and water rushed out and squeeze the fish from outside the bag inward) and the last one this morning (swim bladder)
I had regreted NOT taking him out right away and try to correct the swim bladder, but moving him would be too much of a stress and would have made it worse

I know how ya feel, we always figure that maybe there was something we couldve/shouldve done different. I have lost 4 blacks myself the largest being 9" which jumped out of what I though was a well sealed tank top. One 6" had died quickly overnite, when I shut the lights off it was still carrying a piece of market shrimp in it's mouth. Next morning I awoke to a dead aro. These two happened a year and two years ago and I still occasionally think back as to what I couldve/shouldve done different.
That's the difference between a kid and a grown man!flamenco-t;4355674; said:

Don't regret. It's part of the hobby. If we can control everything, if the world is perfect, then there's no up and down, there's no fun! It's boring, if you ask me... Cheer up, Pal! It's a better day tomorrow.flamenco-t;4355806; said:
the next worry, is will the remaining 2 start beating on each other, it happens all the time-
and since were mentioning it, I lost 2 blacks this year- they were 18" and 20"- and each time one died the aggression grew more and more in the tank
