I accidentally and thoughtlessly killed my Megalodoras uranoscopas (irwini) last night and it was all my fault. I was doing a much needed water change and, without thinking, I added 7.0 pH buffer without checking the pH first!! He immediately started to hyperventilate and list to the side in the throws of pH shock. I though "oh s***" and tried to put him in front of a low out-put power head to keep his gills moving, but to no avail:cry: Such a noob mistake:wall: :duh: I got him at a mere 2" a year or so ago and he was a beautiful 7.75".:cry:
 
I'm really sorry to hear this man - happens to everyone I am sure.
 
Thanks guys. It sucks even more because I have not seen them available from my wholesalers since I bought that one:( .
