jack dempsey tank leak

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yes
did feel embarrassed but not gonna lie
had a bit of mdf shelf on breeze blocks under it to bring it up to face height for me cos I'm short lol
but yes if it can help others I don't care about being embarrassed lol
Oh no, MDF is the WORST! Did it fail on you, or did it swell from water absorption to create an uneven surface?
 
If I had a dollar for every dumb mistake I've made in this hobby I would have a lot more fish tanks, and then I guess more mistakes, which leads to more fish tanks?

I've read numerous accounts of people finding their fish nearly dried up on the floor after jumping out of their tanks, and some how survived after putting back into water. It s pretty amazing what animals can survive through. There was just a recent thread here about a member sucessfully rehabilitating his gar that was shot with an arrow.

I don't know think front of tank was over hanging

Defo a lesson learned and not shy to share this and can't stress this enough
good set up is priority as your tank will be fully functioning but could fail cos you put it on something not strong enough!!!

Young kids trespassed in members pond and used a bow and arrow. A gar is built like a pike with a very narrow snout
