All of my losses have been kuhli loachs. They have been very problematic for me to keep alive apparently.

My biggest loss( though not of this year) still remains Ginny my eye pleco...I wish she could have survived until I could have taken her back or found a new home. She was my favorite fish out of my long time then eight catfish set. When I see topics about blue eyed plecos I tend to skip now, just makes me sad.

12 clown loaches (4")
6 dwarf gouramis (2")
1 bristlenose (4")
1 clown plec (1.5")
2 buenos aires tetras (1.5")
3 delhzis (2.5")
1 beuttekoferi (8")
1 endlicheri (4")
1 silver dollar (3")
1 pictus cat (4")
1 chaca chaca (2")
1 hoplo cat (1.5")
1 synodontis angelicus (5")
1 monopterus albus (24")

I will probably be losing an oscar (4") soon, as he is not eating and is pooping out tape worms. Yay. Ok, now I am depressed.

Wow. I hadn't really thought about it until I saw this thread. We've lost one of our gold dojo loaches to a polypterus palmas. The polypterus palmas when I removed her from that tank to (try) to allow the dojo to heal. We've also lost nine tiger barbs, one at a time to our african brown knifefish. I had that particular dojo, Frick for about three years; it was very sad. I had just turned on the light in the tank for the day and was getting ready to sit down and say good morning to the guys when I saw Polly running madly about the bottom with Frick in her mouth, waving like a flag. I managed to get him away from Polly and removed Polly to a holding tank. Later in the day, I placed my hand in the tank to restore the plants that were disturbed - Frick swam over to my hand and lay in my palm. That was a little tough and still kind of chokes me up to think about. I believe that many people who don't keep fish don't really understand that they're not mindless amusements; each really does have it's own little personality and they really do seem to develop a sort of bond with us.
