Big loss - sad day

[mark]

that's awful, I feel for you

Sorry to hear this Ruth.

Sorry this has happened to you.

It could happen to any of us.

If there were some sort of battery-powered alarm that goes off when power is cut, it would help prevent this type of accident.

Ruth Iam sorry to hear about this. I know how you feel, I get more upset when a fish dies than when I hear about people dieing. I had the same thing happen with my dogface puffer but I woke up for some reason and caught them just as they were have breathing problems, both fish pulled through. I wish you good luck in the future. R.I.P for your fish

i agree this has been a bad season for many of us this year. Very sorry to hear about those fishes.

Sorry about your loss Ruth. I guess many of us can relate and know how you feel. Its amazing how fragile the worlds we create for our friends really is.

hang in there ruth. we all feel for you. dont give up, you are too good at the hobby. i can only imagine how discouraging it must be but keep your chin up.

[Delphinus]

I know, believe me I know, how you feel right now. To have some cherished friends whisked away in the blink of an eye leaving you in complete shock, can really test your will.

Having also lived through several tragic accidents that severely tested me, I can at least offer the perspective that you can rebuild and in time find joy in the hobby once again.

Sorry about your fish, I hope you find it in yourself to stay in the hobby. I've lost a tank or two over the years and the only thing that stopped me from returning to it right away was money. I found the passion never really leaves you...sometimes even despite your best efforts to do so.

Good luck either way.

Sorry to hear! I dread losing any of my big fish and wouldn't wish it on anybody. Hopefully you are able to continue in the hobby, most can understand if you don't. Dealing with loss is tough... my sympathies..
