A friend of mine just lost all the fish in his tank from a Cuke Nuke.

I don't think it was a Tiger tail specifically, but it crawled up the glass into his skimmer intake and got chewed up.

All his fish were dead in the morning

Conflicting reviews again. Damn. Oh well. Again (casey8) I am not looking fir what the Internet may say as I have thuroughly reviewed them. I am looking for personal experiences. Also I have had a pink cucumber in my system for quite some time and is doing great. Thank you BWA for the encouraging experience lol. I guess once again I am foolish enough to roll the dice.

Ps. The girlfriend loved this thing and was the deciding factor lol.

I have no idea how many cukes are in my system, but I would guess it is more than a dozen. About 4 of those would be tiger tails, the rest are all donkey dungs. I've had them for almost five years without any issues.

It seems all the horror stories are friends of friends and all the people with no issues speak on personal experience.

He Stays in the tank then, it's official.
