What Are Your Worst Fears With Fishkeeping?

Like the title says, what do you fear most could happen to your fish/tank/home/etc

My worst fear is that my dempseys might jump o0t of the tank chasing each other and that they die floating on the surface, bobbing up and down.

whenever i see a dead fish, i freeze. My body goes cold and i cant look at the dead fish. I have dead-fish-a-phobia lol. I try to net it nd flush it down the toilet without looking and quick as possible

Had a 33 hour blackout this past winter andmy generator wouldnt run for more than 15min at a time.out of 40 tanks only loss was a newly hatched batch of angelfish

My worst fear is if the blackout continued another 33 hours

My fear would be the tank break for any reason and the anyone might be near it and get cut in the wrist and bleed to death by big falling/flying pieces of broken glass. But there's almost no chance that can all happen so nsyc.
