Oh yes.... Im done with the hippo tang till i can afford and get a large one.. that i can see is very healthy..

carpet surf.....

replaced to tank only to find her way to the power head....

so flush to heaven.......

what are the chance's that adding that little fish to my tank is gonna cost me all my fish?


Im not mad or upset... Im just tired. i can beleave this...

just an hour ago i was feeding her... all was well she was playing with nemo.

about 10 min ago i i go looking for her... and shes not there me and the woman are geting all scared... cause we cant find her....

i start saying carpet surf,,,, carpet surf... and little did i know there she was carpet bound.....

so i replaced to tank in sump in attempt to revive a almost dead fish...

negative...

if i have to part my tank.....


ill leave it at that...

good night guys.....

So Sorry for your loss - it's possible Nemo chased her out clowns aren't really the most playful fish

[burning2nd]

i guess it is... maybe he got pissed....

last time i say he was giveing her gentle push's when she got to close to his home....

he would move her away..


i dont know

[Dentoid]

I'm truly sorry to hear that! Have you considered egg crate for the top of your tank?

[burning2nd]

im not pissed about the loss or the money....

im pissed that i bought 2 fish they both got flushed.. (60 bucks+ tax) down the tolet..... and now the possabilty of my healthy fish being infected....


that was a stupid move on my part...

[burning2nd]

you know scott thats the 2nd fish ive ever had that bailed on me...

so maybe thats an idea...

i think im done buying fish...
i think im just done with my 30....

im gonna just let it be and get rdy for the 75


save me money..... forget about that 30...
i cant keep tangs... i cant keep the suff i want...

so i think i just had that twig in my head snap

[Dentoid]

That's a good idea! Get up, wipe off your jeans and get a bigger horse! I know how disheartening it is to lose livestock. Especially when your heart was in watching it grow and flourish. Keep your chin up buddy!

I went through the same thing. My first one died from ammonia so I waited a couple more weeks and got another fish. That one died from ammonia. I waited a couple more weeks. I got a pair of pink skunks. They did great for awhile...and then they got ick. I put them in qt...not cycled. I changed the water every day. I took the filter out to clean it and the little one got sucked into the powerhead. They were a pair...I went out and found a new little man. Into the qt. I changed the water everyday for a month because it hadn't cycled. They made it. It's now been 3 months since and I haven't killed anything. And the new couple is getting along.
It happens. It's frustrating.
Things are going okay now...I'm glad I stuck with it. Take a break from it and maybe get a little coral. Do a new fish again later. Learning curve kinda sucks.

Soeey for your loss,
The 30 sounds like a great sump for the 75 and the 10 would be a great QT
