Lost my favorite fish :(

This afternoon I finally got a chance to work on my 250L tank, and I had a nice piece of wood that I wanted to use.

So a caught all the fish as I could accidentally place a rock or a piece of wood on one of them,and put them in a 15L bucket with a piece of wood in it and towel over it.

When I had the tank ready (it was less then a hour) and I wanted to put the fish back I found my ghost knife motionless on the bottom of the bucket(I've done this many times before with no problems)

Then I did what I could to save him but to no avail

Now a part of me wants to stop keeping fish, then I look at my 3 corys happily searching for food and I feel a bit better.

I've lost allot of fish in the past 3 years but non where as special to me, not even my gourami.

I'm not sure what to do now as my whole tank was build around him and I bought this tank for him as he was outgrowing my 110L.

Sorry for your loss Nicolaas, i lost one of my Berlin Black Female Swords today, it sucks, but we have too look forward, maybe get something new for your tank.

 

Sorry to hear bud. Hope you find a way to keep the hobby alive.

 

Thanks for the support guys.

Reedfish I normally also keep them in the tank but I really moved and removed stuff so I was afraid I might trap one and not notice soon enough.

Sub-lime I don't think I'll stop,I've calmed down a bit and I'm trying to be positive.

WeirdSteam sorry for your loss, it realy sucks when you lose a fish.

 

Sorry mate. It's not a nice feeling. What fish and how many did you put in the bucket?

 

Sorry to hear that man. A BGK will always be a sad loss. They have such an unusual way of swimming and bumbling around like a blindfolded dog, when looking for food.... They kinda get into your heart. I feel your pain dude.

Strange that it should have died within an hour though. I can only think that there was something in the bucket. Ah well.. Next time luckier...

 

My condolences

 

Dash, I only put it with 4 angels the others I moved to my 110L, he and the angels like to eat neons so I did not move them.

I've had him for 2 years now and he was just starting to permanently swim around with the lights on.

Again thanks for the support guys I appreciate it.

 

Just lost one of my prized fish as well so feel your pain, sterkte.

Sorry for your loss Heihachi.
