Dang! I'm so sorry for your loss, bro!

Thanx bro, been awhile since I've lost a fish so I guess I should count myself lucky(knock on wood). Sucked he was the more aggressive outgoing of the 2.
Still I've got Romulus and he's proving to be a hard @$$ when it comes to surviving. He got his entire dorsal amputated by my Curupira yet grew it back completely. You can't even tell it was ever gone. He also recently survived a jump where when I found him after getting home from work his skin was already getting crusty. Still he pulled thru, he's a bad @$$ motha-Shut Your Mouth! What I'm just talkin bout Romulus. Lol! Matter of fact he just put on another inch this month. Plus he's thriving despite the fact my Amphilophus Lyonsi's breeding attitude. Never any disease, infections just wounds which he seems to recover from easily. Waiting till he hits the 15 inch mark then I'll post some pics of his bad self. Thanx agin though Jlnguyen it really hurt me when Remus died. It was 3 months ago and I'm still bummed. My tank just looked so much more wicked with 2 Arm's.

A few thousand silver perch (Australian native) fingerling's. The shipment arrived with majority already exhibiting signs of fin rot.... =(

The cylindrical mass to the right of the picture is the result of storing the morts in a bucket in a freezer...

I can't say I have ever thought of a fish as a pet in the same sense of a dog being a pet. Sure I take care of my fish and treat them well but to say there is any love there would be a stretch. lol

I see it as more of a loss of money.

have you ever lost a fish like an oscar? those things come to the side of the tank and follow you around just like a dog! dont get me wrong i love dogs but i love my fish too.

hello. is it possible that all my koi are dead? I dont see them anymore. It is about 15c outside at nighttime, so I dont think the cold did them in. I never seen a cat or big fishing bird at the pond, but I am not always looking. so is it possible that are sitting under the plant roots at the bottom of the pond? I dont see them, and it is sunny and warm today. They were doing so good for so many years.

While I was in Va, at the Motor Pool, I was filling my truck up when I heard a loud smash against my hood. Looked around didn't see anyone... put the gas pump back walked to the driver side and what do i see. A GIANT KOI laying on the ground... far away from any residential area with a pond. A Bird must of dropped it because it fell from the sky it was already dead though.

I changed my filter from a Tetra Whisper I've had running for years to a Fluval 405 (used but cleaned out). Everything was working perfect yesterday, water was crystal clear.

Over the night, I heard crazy splashing. I woke up and found 6 of my fish dead. They are all peaceful community fish that I've had for almost a year now. The water was also cloudy, unlike yesterday where it was clear.

I'm about to test the water right now.

WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED?
