as i had mentioned in one of my previous threads that my new E cat who was got 5 days ago had started to eat from my hand just after 2 days
and day before yesterday he had ich and i had moved him to the 15g hospital tank and had added nearly 1 Tablespoon of salt and had upped the temp to 29C
i had also mentioned that he had stopped eating and i thought that was because of the move and he must've been stressed out

yesterday i had a busy day at the factory and had to leave early and i couldn't go and look at my fishes in the morning as i usually do, by the time i returned in the evening he was on his back dead and the stupid ****ing heater had shot up to like 36C i don't know how

i was so pissed and angry i threw that ****ing heater out of the window.
i had called up my lfs owner who is one of the few people with whom i usually talk fish as he is a good fellow fish keeper
and he said he might try to get another one for me, but i said i didn't want one in the near future
and those cats are pretty rare and i don't know if i may get another E cat which would warm up to me like sparky did

:cry:RIP SPARKY:cry:

sorry for the long rant(post) just needed to vent
 
Im so sorry for your loss. I had the same thing happen. Just got alot of new cats in and out of no where, my heater decided it wanted to trip and killed all my fish! I know how you feel. If I were you I would def give it another shot.

RIP SPARKY:(

thank you
i had kept him in a 180g rubber maid till day before yesterday and wouldn't have moved him to the 15g if he didn't have ich
i may give another try but i am not sure that i may get one soon as this was the first time i saw an E cat in my 14 yrs of fish keeping

may be i will get one shipped or may ask weylin if there are any near his place
