Stupidity, and all my tanks have it!!

[ApistoGrandma]

Well I know that in this hobby you never stop learning but this morning I awoke to find that a fish trap i had made and put in a tank to catch fry, had instead, caught 3 of my 4 rope fish( Erpetoichthys calabaricus) and the poor buggers had all suffocated... In hind sight I realize how stupid it was to leave it in the tank unattended for more then 1 hour, let alone 4. I just wish the little guy hadn't had to go out that way. dumb dumb dumb. That being said I have one lonely rope fish now and as they are social fish i dont want her to be lonely. so if anyone has some ropefish in need of a new family member, let me know. alternatively if you have a lone rope your looking to move let me know aswell.

Our auction on Saturday, October 27th is a good chance to move lonely fish FYI. Denny

Sorry to hear about your losses. It is always hard when you do something that has a negative affect on your own fish. I recently rushed a tank move and killed a whole spawn of red severums using some water I should not have used. Just a dumb mistake but a high price was paid by the poor fish. I hope you either find another rope fish or find someone with a family he can join. Jack
