What's the most grusome death one of your fish has suffered?

[twiisted]

My mums winter koi tank had a very poor sump, we lost a weather loach that we rescued and assumed it was in there, after about 10 minutes of stomach turning feel a bouts we just assumed it had jumped the tank and managed to reach the drain... We got an external filter a month after and ceased use of the sump which was left under the tank for about three months (procrastination's a b****) we were running out of tanks so decided that the old three part sump would make a good tank, mid cleaning of a three months stagnant brown faeces filled freezing cold (it's Scotland mid winter so were talking -0 c ) gloop we see something writhing about in the filth... Long behold the loach, severely emaciated a d oxygen deprived, yet barely alive! We immediately shifted him back into the tank. A few days later and he was back to himself and plumping back up. The external filter isn't set up to move the surface properley so we have a grated fluval powerhead doing that, anyways he had basically managed to get stuck in it, then struggled and made it halfway through, so his tail was hanging out the bottom and his shredded and mangled face was peeking out the eyelet, needless to say we were pretty hacked off -.-

Also had a vieja bifiscatium mate with a Midas/red devil, we managed to save the fry and reared the 200-ish ourselves, to about two inches, we didn't have anywhere for them they were taking up way too much and we were basically trying to give them away, but no takers, me and my dad came to a decision that the rhom wasn't getting a varied enough diet. we threw about 30-50 of them in, and slowly the numbers are diminishing, but everyday we arrive to gruesome, sadistic and somewhat brutal deaths, spines, skulls, half eaten fish continuing to live, none of the 13 have tails left and are missing chunks all over, there's even one swimming about with no face... I'm a sick person, but even that made my skin crawl :c

Honestly CichlidScotty, we were all amazed, I even phoned my dad to tell him this, we both agree that the water was inhospitable, that even a clarias cat would die in there, the water was even tested and everything was through the roof, ph was miles off too! :S

well that would be put me in shock if he was still alive and there for that long

Ha, it's just the fact that after all he went through.... He got killed trying to hide in a powerhead?! Think one of the koi must've knocked the grate/protector thingy -.-

In my local fish store, A juvenile Marbled snake head (about 6-8 inch) Jumped out of its tank and before we could grab it the stores cat grabbed it and disappeared off into the car park!
Also I had a severum get stuck in an ornament and within seconds, my 12inch red belt had both eyes out, it died shortly after, 1st and last time she has shown any genuine agression towards her tankmates

One of my oscars I had 2 years ago went in with the turtles because he was defending himself. At first he was beating the crap out of all the turtles, then I go to do something because I felt he was okay. I come back and he's missing the full tail and it goes up to this white stuff inside him. It was so gruesome. He just wasn't fast enough for the turtles.

My juvi EBJD got ich and an internal parasite that made his stomach expand like a balloon and got extremely dark for about 3 days then popped and lay at the bottom of the tank with an open stomach trying to breath for half an hour. It was terrible and all the time I couldn't find the net.

I was about to tell the story of when during a water change, the water level reached a point where it leaked into a no-longer-watertight bulb sleeve which was just below the rim of my aquarium (I never filled it to this level, leaving the top 2 inches above the water line) and well, the lights in my entire home dimmed for a few seconds. All the fish were pretty much fried. But honestly... Matt724's story is collection material!
