A while ago I saved a bunch of white skirt tetras from (name of place removed), I basically stole them, because they were going to die or be dyed whichever came first. I felt great, like I was saving them, because I was, or did until that night. I put them In a holding tank (for quarantine + ich treatment) that I had just set up with a little fountian pump I hadn't used much before made into a filter. Then I went to sleep. I didn't realize but the pump didn't work so well and I guess it died after a few hours. I woke up and found a whole mess of dead tetras : (. Karma I guess, or maybe they just had to die... : ( again.
The one positive thing though is that a gourami survived (obviously), I treated him right and now he's one gorgeous fish.
...Needless to say--the americans won the war
