What a bad week for fish.

[BDawg364]

So in my apartment I have 7 tanks, 6 of which have fish in them, the other has 2 turtles. This week has been hell for me. I lost a 3" electric blue jack dempsey (my 4.5" oscar finally decided his upper body would make a nice treat), a 4" gold nugget (suicide-he swam at full speed out of the water and into the glass top, and floated to his watery grave), and a 1.5" clown loach (my 2" pbass decided he needed a snack, so he bit a chunk out of him). It has been horrible for me, and I hope that is the end of it. I did make a few new additions last night though. I got a 3-3.5" clown loach, and a 4" redtail shark. I need to get all of my tanks into the same room.

That sucks. Rough week for you. Sorry!

Damn.
Only way to prevent that is 1 fish per tank, and cover the inside w/ bubblewrap.

Yeah, so I got home today (I spent the night out, only after feeding my fishes lol) and I go home to find my brand new redtail shark on the floor, even though his tank had a lid on it. Apparently, he decided to leap out over the filter, flop around on the table, then on the carpet. When I found him, he was dried out and covered in fuzz. I knew it was only going to get worse. I forgot to add earlier that this weekend I also lost a 2" albino chocolate pleco and a 1" clown pleco. What a week.
