I had to reorganize my tank the other day, apparently the cap on the bottom of my aquamaster400's intake tube shook loose because when I was working on it today, I saw one of my female labs swimming against the current IN the tube. I disconnect it real quick she shoots back into the tank and up floats the corpse of the alpha female. All of my labs were acquired as tiny fry. This is a lab unlike any I've ever seen before it was like someone took a calligraphy pen and illustrated ALL of her finnage with the masterpiece being "latice-work" on her tail that would put a discus' face to shame. She wasn't pale white and submissive but a shimmering platinum. I am so distraught my carelessness killed maybe my favorite fish. I'm now at 1m:2f but thankfully my male is a benevolent and peaceful one because I am nauseous (no exaggeration) at the thought of replacing her at the moment.
I guess to make this more constructive and less like a whiney blog post, who else has killed their favorite fish?
