what fish deaths did you have in 2011

going thru all the threads i realized how many people lost something for any reason like filter ate it,heater cooked it,jumped,beat or old age.i wanted to see what everyone lost.

sadly i lost
14 inch tiger oscar 7-8 years of owning he was my first fish a i bought him when i was younger so i made a lot of newbie mistakes and the reason i try to be educated on everything i buy.i did not get smart about him until he was 10 inches or so.supposed to be 8 TOTAL BS i can now adress almost every large cichlid by real name not store name now.

8 inch pacu i bought him at a lfs because he was 1 1/2 inches and in the big tank being harrased i was also told it gets 16 inches.It died my luecistic oscar had rammed it to hard and he floated up.r.i.p goliath the only monster i planned on keeping 2 years of owning.me and my step dad were gonna do a plywood build in my garage (maybe next year).

this is my loss yours.

My list is HUGE! I had a horrible bacterial outbreak from adding wild caught fish without first quarantining.

But the ones I miss the most were an 11" male Midas who was 3 yrs old, a wild caught male Pearsei, wild caught female Argentea and my sailfin pleco.

1 golden killifish to my python.

1 killi gardiniri ..unknown death
..


... lots of baby cons to hungry mouths!

I dont really lose fish.

A tank worth of snowball shrimp disappeared, one by one. I also lost a whole order of green babaulti shrimp (12, I think). And I lost a number of RCS in my walstad 20g when it was relatively new. Plus I lost nearly all of my mystery snails to bonehead flourish excel overdosing... Then there was the order of 8 dwarf cajuns, only 3 of which survived after they hit my water.

As far as actual fish - two long-fin zebra danios are about it, I think.

damn...i knew i wasnt the only one and ive never had any fish but these die and my royalpleco just died recently from ich he couldnt pull through

I havent lost any fish since 2010, when i did loose a whole colony of tropheus to bloat

thats sad since your info says thats your favorite

well, my favorite, or not my favorite.... was still a fish that was in my hands to take care of, and I failed big time buy a stupid mistake.... caused them all to get stressed and bloat.

Why tropheus are my favorite fish is because of the challenge though... have to be on a good diet, and have a good routine or they can catch bloat and infect the whole tank.... watching them eat, constantly checking water parameters, keeps me on my toes and excited about the hobby.

Lost my platysilurus mucosus. Don't even know why, just found him floating.
