herefishiefishie Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I got another canister filter of Brad to place in my discus tank.Thought 2 canisters be great, no need for interanl. Tank be better etc etc etc.... I went to take out the internal filter when the bottom 2 cartridges fell off. Now the bottom cartridge is fill with ceramic noodles, therefore a bit of weight. It landed straight on a discus head, knocking it out cold. Couldn't think of a way to make it come too. :-? Did try a couple of things, drew the line at mouth to mouth but. :lol: Therefore I suppose the best thing to describe it is, that it drowned. Useless idiot, ramble ramble ramble....

herefishiefishie Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Haven't had the discus set up to long, this one was probably one I would trade back in, not the nicest. So wasn't to attached. More pissed off at myself, as I killed it. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMack Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Now this could be interesting...maybe its time to start a listing of "101 ways to kill a fish" heres some Ive had.... #1: The Suicide - I think everyone has (or will) suffer from this one at some stage....My first loss was a Clown Loach who thought he was a Clown Parrot, and went flying (through the tiniest of gapss too!) Sadly I didnt find him till several days later - shrivelled Clown Loach anyone? #2: The diss-appearing act #1 - can go hand in hand with the above listing, but Im talking more about the "Fish-Eat-Fish" scenario. Had this happen and only knew where the missing fish went due to the larger fish sitting on the bottom of the tank looking innocent, but being caught red-finned!!! (The tail of his victim was still hanging out of the corner of his mouth....) and now to add to the list..... #73: Death From Above: As described by "herefishiefishie" Alien forces attack from above by dropping lethal weighty objects onto the un-suspecting fish - generally gets followed up by some panic and choice words (I'm Guessing) after the Alien form discovers what has happened! Note: This is intended to be a light-hearted post, I do sympatise with anyone who loses a fish (in any way) I too have felt the suffering!

Caryl Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 There is also the Chinese algae eater who leapt up on to the lid of a breeder tank floating in the main tank and, by the time it was discovered, had become a thin shrivelled stick after sticking to aforementioned lid and drying out under the lights. Took a minute to even work out what it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
