Answer is D.
A neighbor released a mylar balloon on Veteran's Day. The balloon touched the power line and blew out power on the whole block. The wife called me at noon to let me know the power is out. I was in the middle of a staff meeting so I told her I'll deal with it when I get home.
Got home at 5pm to find the power back on. Everything was running. I counted only 4 dorados in the tank. Strange because the glass top was still in tack. Had to count 3 times to finally look around the outside of the tank. Behind the tank was the fifth dorado. It was stiff and dry. Been dead for hours.
It probably got spooked when everything went off and shout through the glass top. That top was pretty heavy.

Sad news
Really sad,
Sometimes things just aren't in our hand

Although I would be pretty pissed at my neighbour.

Dang! I've always hated when people release balloons , it's litter all those balloons end up somewhere, used to always get caught in my honey locust trees and I'd have to remove them without getting impaled on foot long spikes....

Sorry for your loss, rip

Sorry to hear, Ken. I am glad others haven't suffered ill consequences, or have they? The oxygen must have quickly runned out in that tank. A blown transformer fuse is easy to reinstall back but the power Co usually take time to get there...

Looking at the size of this dorado and knowing their speed, I think any lid that's not on a lock would get knocked open by this torpedo.

I can totally understand this, I might have tried to find new homes for them and put something else in the tank.

On a different note, Do you think you can breed these brutes in a tank ???
