All my fault.Let myself get distracted getting ready for a job interview.I was draining my 125g hap tank for a waterchange.Got distracted while running around getting ready and went downstairs and the fish were flopping.Couldnt have been more than 10min.refill tank and have to leave.When I get back adult 1m 2f red empress dead.both male dolphins one was in deathspins and the other struggling,watched them both die.These are fish Ive been raising for years and were finally coming into thier glory.Im gutted cant even bear to go down there for evening feedings.
Some days just suck.
 
dang man thats tough, its hard to multitask, especially when it comes to fish. they need you full attention when ur messing with em, sorry for your loss
 
Oh No! I'm so sorry! Keep you chin up and start over.
 
i am sorry to hear that.. your right some days we wish we could skip right over.. i had one yesterday... i hope you feel better soon.. accidents do happen... and a accident is not your fault
 
Thanks for the support.these guys were looking so good I was planning on moving the mbuna out of my showtank to put them in.This ones gonna hurt for a while.
 
Damn, dude, that sucks. Liz is right, though, accidents happen, don't blame yourself.
