good and bad news

[jaws19]

well the display tank where the jack Dempsey were being held had just to much traffic going by it and the jacks started getting skittish so i went downstairs and took a good look around, my 55 gallon with just one Oscar was empty i looked every where for him and finally found the poor guy under my stand all dried up and foggy eyed, he was dead RIP Mr. O

well i threw in a couple tiger barb into his tank and my molly, but the tank was just so empty... i then thought the JACKS!!!!!! i ran up stairs and got ready to fish them out, bad idea...... well i went to go get a bucket to transport the fish, came back and put 2 gallons of water in and started fishing them out, then the worst possible thing happened... as i was fishing the last jack out of the tank i tripped and fell against the 55 gallon fish tank!!! but that's not the worst part the leg on the cheap metal stand broke and when i got up the tank fell right over!!!!!!!!!! there was water everywhere i stated freaking out because i didn't want it to leak downstairs... well i wont bore and of you with how i cleaned up all the water.. but i lost JD #1 after i introduced her.. RIP flirt

Any pics of the disaster?

I wouldn't even have thought of taking pics in his situation, lol. So I doubt that he did.

Woulda been too busy trying to ignore my family screaming at me while I try to mop things up and save my fish, lol. Glad to hear that you only lost one fish though. Or two counting the oscar.
