stupidest thing you done with your fresh or saltwater fish......

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i put over 20 fish all over 3 inches in a 30 gallon. including 3 bala sharks, 3 iger barbs, 2 pictus catfish, a clownkife, a dragon goby, and 2 columbian sharks. along with a bunch of platys. i dunno how they went along, but they did somehow. then i wondered why i kept getting ick outbreacks. so i bought more fish so the ick would be spread more thin and more evenly among all the fish.

Dude... thats crazy :screwy: lol I assume you realize ich meds are the way to go now? also the number :eek: wow man... lol
 
I was explaining to my brother about my weighted lids on my tank to keep my fish from jumping out, and as soon as I opened one up to show him, sure enough, zoom...there goes my 24" aro. lol. But I caught him and got him back in the tank no problems. Just had a little scrape on his side from hitting the floor
 
pretty sure it was the combination of temp drop and oxygen depletion at the same time, i have the ac in my house set to 71 and the power was off for a total of 12-14 hours before i realized they were dead. i am installing a 3000watt inverter in the trunk of my car so that if my power goes out for an extended period of time i can run my fish tanks fridge and freezer off my car :D --- kids dont try this at home i have extensive electrical upgrades on my car due to car audio, stock vehicle charging system could not support 3000watts
 
lol my friend was putting in a fish into his tank and i stroked it and mypants were dripping pee

i see where you get your name:ROFL:
 
Had that happen at work once, a tank light dropped into the tank...and all of a sudden I got a little shock ha ha.

Stupidest thing I ever did? Im sure there were lots...what is on the top of my mind right now? The time I emptied my 55g tank, and didnt turn the ebo heater off...then did my h2o change....and splashed most of the water onto the heater. Shrapnel went everywhere. Lucky I still have my eyes with me.
 
Dumbest thing I have done was a combination of dumbness and bad luck. I bought a 75 gallon setup from a guy and got everything, fish and all to my house. Got the tank fully setup and went to put on the light strips. One of the bulbs must have gotten loose in transport because at the moment I held it over the tank to line it up a bulb swung from one end and hit the center tank brace. Boom! An explosion of glass fragments all over my house and worse yet, all inside the tank. I had to start the setup all over. Vigorously wash the rock, remove and change the sand, whip down the tank, and put it all back together again.
