Well you guys were right...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry for your loss. Learned something again today, thanks for sharing.
 
Man...I am so sorry to hear about this.. I know how hard it can be sometimes to believe that something is wrong, when everything looks so right.
 
Thanks everybody. I cant help but feel guilty because maybe if I would have put a liner in it a few weeks ago I wouldn't have lost half of my cats. :( Who's the person on here that has a time machine?
 
Nobody likes to be right about this sort of thing... any fish left?
 
Just posting this for future reference....Note that proper ph only slows down the dissolution of zinc and does not stop it, still causing poisoning. Again, I am very sorry for your loss.

I only lost 5 fish out of about 30 that were in there, but there were the ones I liked the most. My Giraffe cat didnt make it as well. All of them with the exception of the rtc are in the freezer. :(

I lost my
19" clown knife
18" rtc
20" giraffe cat
24" tsn
25" marbled pim


I still have my
30" niger cat
2 24" rtc x tsn hybrids
3 15-18" channel cats

All the pacu, oscars, peacock bass, and plecos are fine. None of those even seem affected by it.

On a positive note, everybody including the hybrids ate this morning when I tried feeding.
 
rough lesson to learn but i'm glad you shared it so others don't have to repeat it. it takes a big man to admit his mistakes out here in the open, most would've just disappeared.
 
When I first read the title of this thread, I was going to find a witty internet pic/caption for it, but then I read the thread, and it's not what I was expecting at all.

Sorry for your loss, thanks for sharing your tragedy, so we can all learn and take appropriate actions.
