What's the most grusome death one of your fish has suffered?
- Thread starter lujor
- Start date
i had a shubunkin get sucked onto a wakemaker and then swam around for a few days with a massive arch in his swim, seriously like almost 90 degrees. and the other fish where biting at his fins, but the trooper survived and is still swimming around,
i also had a siames algea eater get sucked into my gf's eheim canister and live in there for a few months... he's also still alive.
i know its meant to be dead stories but these where miraculous...
but i do have a nano aquarium and the diffuser had water in the line all the way to the one way valve, so i tried purging it, and i stupidly totally forgot about it after going to the toilet, and i suffocated all my peppered catfish and cherry shrimp... plants probably liked it tho haha

I had a group of four dojos one of my old set-ups, each of which came to very gruesome ends.
1) One died of some sort of hemorrhagic disease during QT - poor thing hung around for nearly a week before giving up the ghost.
2) One managed to get sucked into my filter impeller, and was bludgeoned to death.
3) This guy bloated up like crazy one day, before dying a few days later. I did a necropsy on this guy to see if I should be treating my remaining loaches for anything, and found that his ENTIRE digestive system was packed with sand :-/
The remaining loach lasted for several years ... until he managed to sneak out of the small gap between my cover and filter that I had 'been meaning to cover' for months. This happened in the middle of the night. Fortunately, he was quickly discovered -- unfortunately, it was by my cats. I could hear them being very excited about something, so I decided to let them into the bedroom, in the hopes that they'd settle down and go to sleep. I was rewarded with a half-dead-loach on my pillow :-/
I also had a "sorority" tank of female bettas for a while. I had gone on vacation over a long weekend, and found that one of the girls had been badly beaten up by her tankmates -- she was literally half of a fish, her entire tail and peduncle was gone. Surprisingly, she healed up very well and (separated from the others) for about another year and a half.

In one of my tanks I used to keep half a dozen black kuhli loaches. One day I decided to remove some of the hollow decorations to wash them over an industrial sink set up in my 'fish supply' room. An industrial sink with a garbage disposal.
A garbage disposal that happened to be running when several loaches fell out from the underside of a decoration.

Oscar swam out of bag into garbage disposal/sink drain today I tried to get him out but he is way to big for the 4" opening plus the rubber thing that catches food and was sliming up when I would try to grab him and flailing around inside after a few minutes and him not moving I decided to flip the garbage disposal switch thinking it would chop him up so I could get the rest of him out and it only took off a few scales and I was able to yank him threw with BBQ tongs because he was all stiff 
I am here feeling horrible

Had a red devil rip the nose off a gar :/ needless to say I learned my lesson and started doing my homework/research on fish I wanted
Lot of garbage disposal stories on this page.. terrible. I've lost loaches down the sink but never one with a garbage disposal.
