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

the reaming jacks are down stairs in a empty 55 ill post pics of decoration as soon as i get to it

Sorry man! That really sucks. Hopefully the other JD's will be ok in the meantime. You didn't get hurt did you?
 
Bderik ill try and get pics of the spot where it happened but ill definitely get pics of the crack, im fine i wasnt hurt and every ones doing good so far
 
Definetly need to show pics of the cheap metal stand, Others may have this same stand and could suffer the same consequences
 
sorry you lost your fish. i would not be able to stand losing my oscar. i've had him 3 years. he's a real pet.

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

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.
