Hey everyone. I have been having a horrible time lately with things and haven't been on a whole lot lately. Top it all off, on Friday afternoon I look into my tank to see my fish. And I don't see one of my arowana.
Sadly, I found him under the tank. Lil buddy managed to shoot out a opening where my filter lines go through. I have a wooden canopy and everything. I tried but I knew he was gone
. He was one of my smaller silver arowana of 13". Had him since he was 3" too. He was a good one too with a mild temperment and was already allowing me to hand feed him and everything. I still feel for the lil fella, you know? Sucks and I feel horrible about it. I since cut some styrophome and fit it to the opening, so should not happen again with my other silver and black arow. I put some pics of him in the Pics section under the Dead fish thread.
No matter how safe you think you have your fish, a small mis-step can end in something like this. Please everyone, double check your set-ups. Just in case. That opening was only 1" tall.
RIP "lil' buddy"
