DO NOT trust dat lil........%$*@er

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
^^^ ?

180 gallons for 2 6in ATs, 1 8in NT, 2 10-11in gar, and a foot long Armatus (which I thought was 9 inches lol)

I know there are a LOT more densely populated tanks on this site......

Well I've thought of only 3 positives.
1) I still have a house that hasn't been hit by a tornado YET.
2) I don't have to build a monster tank for my beloved unicorn since they don't outgrown freezers.
3) A site like this to be able to talk to people that understand..... I mean it's pretty tough to explain to someone how much you love a fish then explain why you can't get through the conversation without tearing up. At least if you guys don't understand (which most probobly do) you can kinda catch where I'm coming from.

I mean work is a good example..... Got in today and immediatly was asked whats wrong. I explain my favorite fish died. Ever seen the look on someones face when a grown man cries when explaining that his fish died? Talk about confusion... I could just tell the guy was thinking "Shiat should I hug this guy he looks as though he could use one? Nah. He's obviously F'in nuts"

Still feel sick. As reality sets in it seems to be getting worse. The site of that empty tank makes me sick..... The ATs and gar were moved late Sun. night.

I didn't feel this bad when I lost my 12 year old dog when I was 12.......

Fish gods must have been on vacation this weekend. I started praying 3 days ago.

Man...I took up this hobby to fill the void left from car stereo..... I finally found the positive with my first hobby..... There really is more expensive hobbies....LMAO.
Dead subs and you're out $150 each. Spend that, rebuild them and they're good as new. Dead fish.....are dead fish and NO amount of $ brings those back.
 
Sorry bro....dont give the hobby up, its impossible! Time will heal your wounds!
 
I'm sorry for your loss. BTW, have you ever considered if the gars are the ones that responsible for it? Armatus is not as mean as they look. Mine three always get their asses kicked by the 6" Flagtail when there's food in the tank, and they're 10"-12" also :eek:
 
I can't believe it...that sucks, man. I have a 6" tat in with an 8" AT and NTT and they are fine together.
 
No... No missing eyes.

Gar.... In previous encounters the gar leave a scrape. Or at least 2 lines that mimic the outline of thier teeth. These bite marks were more round and random....like pecks. The gar pretty much kept to themselves.

This guy was used to getting beat by flagtails. I had him in with a 10 and 6 in ones. That's why I sold them.
 
AT can get aggresssive

I got a 3" AT before, it always go for the eye of other fish and constantly beating up my 6" IT.

Sorry for your loss, hope you get another armatus soon :D

I feel the same when my tank crack overnight and loss everything. But I got over it and keeping datnoid again. If I can overcome it, you can too! :D
 
SOrry for your loss....Give it some time and look for another unicorn. They are hard to find but it seems like they been popping up on this site the last month quite a bit. He was a beautiful unicorn.
