Lost two great fish in a day

[Decoder]

Horrible day for me. I even cant write it in my local forum. Dont know why but cant.


One was my prize winning GT. Had it for 2 years until today. I was told his swimming blader was gone and he was swimming upside down. Now I am afraid to ask if he is dead.

The other one was juvenile RT.He alwasys looked at me like a dog. Smartest fish I ve ever seen. Had it just for 3 months but it hurted me so deep seeing him dying in 4 hours. I even tried to move his gills for 1 hour but didnt work. Now he got partly white but cant get rid of him. Lost him in during transport due to bad packaging

Both were unreplaceble fish for me. The hobby really stopped for me at this moment.

Really sorry to hear it. It always sucks to loose a fish but two in a day is double bad.

Thanks guys I really needed to post this. Fish losses are different and nobody seems to show some sympatethy when you lose a fish. They just tell me they are animal but they dont know how they looked right into your eyes.

Sorry for your loss. I was very upset when I lost my ten year old nic. Like part of the family. Trust me, the people on here understand.

Sorry for your losses, especially your GT. I remember looking at videos of him on YouTube, he was quite a looker. :-(
