Today supposed to be a good day:(

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Okey...I have limited space for my tank, so I only have 250gallons tank for those guys. Since I started keeping fish as pet, I always use powerhead and overhead filter for my tank(most of the aro owners in my country do the same thing).
It's very reliable and cheap but just to be in case I always had a backup with an oxygen pumper and kept it running along powerhead, a few days a go my aunt borrow it from me so I gave it to her so when the powerhead died and with no oxygen pumper my tank ran out of oxygen and sadly I when I dicovered it, my poor aros already.. :(
I found out why my powerhead broken , when I unscrewed it and look for the problem there are some krill shell stuck between the engine..
Well....it was my fault so I think I am the one to blame after all...I got excited about our house and forgot check up on them in the morning as usual. Sometime I think "what if I check up on them that morning?" ...sigh...none of that matter now..
 
Very sorry. Also had, a couple of years ago, 7 like sized beasts die on me due to a power failure.
 
Wow, that really sucks, Im sorry for you, but at least it will make moving easier.

I just cant get my head around how quickily they will die without a power head. I always thought most fish could live without filtration or anything at least a couple days.
 
sorry for your loss, its always horrible loosing any of your favourite fish but to loose that many beautiful aro's i cant imagine how you feel. Dont get put off aro's just be more prepared in the future!
