Sad loss..and a new begining

Sorry for the loss of your fish, unfortunately these things happen to the best of us at times. All you can do is live and learn.

It sucks..my first fish loss to my own doing in a long time :( but know i know better..ALWAYS cover the python intake!!!

very sorry about your loss. but atleast you have eggs

thank you and so true!..it made a sad situation a little less sad..as long as i can keep them alive!

Sorry to hear bro!

yeah..losing them sucks :(
 
Sorry for your loss.. but he did it like a king and left you his offspring ;)

How awesome that those tiny guys, which I totally can not even see, can come from your loss. What a bummer. I lost one of my favorite fish last week to something I could've prevented, too, so I can totally relate to beating yourself up over a loss.
Focus on the new guys, and just hope one looks and acts like your lost pal.

I can already see vertical bars of the female..witch seems to be most of them other than one larger one ^_^!..they are soo mean even at this age!

they lived in a betta cup with 4-6 day water changes out of the parent tank..and they now have been moved in to a 3/5 gallon grow out tank...about 6-8 still doing well..hard to get a good count of them in the plants.
