It is so very hard for me to click like on any of these sad stories.

We lost Lemon Butterfish, who I had raised from a fry, because his tank overheated.

I don’t have a posthumous picture, and this was taken months ago.

Sorry to hear.

Oh man, this sucks! Lost my Black belt, one of my favorite fish. He was 13" and super thick. Had him since he was about 1-1/2". RIP buddy.?

We lost Black Leeloo last week. My other fish destroyed him.

Lost one of my biggest Dennison barbs. Bummer!

Rather poor image of my deceased S. asotus; was around 50cm at the time of death; cause of fatality is unknown.

Sunflower the yellow lab Cichlid finally passed away in the night. I have had her in quarantine for months because she started growing a big tumor. The guppies and mollies in her quarantine we’re just starting to look at her as breakfast.

I thought this lump would be full of worms or parasites and it was nothing but solid fish meat. Not a speck in it, and it smelled just like fresh bass.

A final moment in the sunshine.

I open the gates to the pet cemetery.

Sunflower returns to the earth

Rest in peace, little cichlid.

Sorry to hear - do you think the growth was cancerous?

 

[tlindsey]

Sorry for the loss.

Sorry to hear - do you think the growth was cancerous?

Oh yes.

The good news is it should not spread through any of the other quarantine fish.
