Final measurements as of recent

That's more like it, Chief!


We all know how keeping fish goes. It turns less than pretty on a dime, left and right and center, up and down and middle. We learn from our fishes' diseases and deaths, sad as it is, but it is true, I believe. We learn more critical knowledge and skills from hardships than from anything else taken together and multiplied by a 1,000,000.

This is true. It shall also make me feel better about what went wrong for me earlier this year making me all but give up on fishkeeping (it was nothing compared to what I've seen on here from time to time, that's for sure). We should always feel sorry for losing a fish, but your approach -learning from your mistakes and doing better the next time round- is certainly better than sulking and neglecting what you still have going for you.

So many times we come across threads like "Look y'all, I got me a cool fish". Then these threads die off abruptly without explanation, usually much sooner than later, leaving one wondering. Most likely, I think, those fish perish (I believe we all know that!) and we don't know why and we don't learn why. It makes me sad. Losing a fish is sad. Losing knowledge that could so obviously help your peers, the next guy in line, etc. - double sad.

So true. Hate to say it but you can kinda spot these threads from a mile away. Not too many raise them to a good size like you. You are humble and dedicated my friend.

The good out of it is that they kill them and they quit. The sad ones are the ones that kill and keep on killing without learning the basics.

My condolences for all of your lovely monsters that you've lost. I too, have lost many of my beloved monsters this year so I can definitely relate....

Such a rough thread... sorry for all your loss man. Is there anymore fish alive?

Thanks, bro. There is plenty alive and hence in danger...

What do you think is killing them off??? Internal bacterial infection??

Sorry for your losses, brother. Enjoy your posts immensely.

Is there some link to most of the deaths or are they isolated cases? I thought I saw that you kept in the neighborhood of 1,000 fish so in my mind although sad this is not a high mortality rate.

I felt the same. With such large numbers im not surprized either.
