a very sad day

[moe]

Four clowns just past away yesterday. A pair of pink I got in B&B'S and a pair of saddle backs. They were doing so well, I saw them grow as I enjoy watching them.

When I notice that they were ill, I did all I can to save them but it was too late. This is a hugh blow to me as I was looking forward to putting them in there new home the 125gal. :mad:

Sorry to hear this,, you said they were sick,, what do you think would cause ALL 4 clowns to die? Was it ick? maybe you could describe the condition of the clowns and the circumstances so others might learn from this

[OrionN]

Sorry to hear this about your clowns. What happened?

[dipan]

So sorry to hear about your loss ...

[clamgal]

wow, sorry
Any idea what happened?

[moe]

what happen was I broke down my 55 gal and had one of the filters go into the 37. Big mistake, I should had clean it. Well setting the filter in a tight spot unfiltered water spill into the tank. And poison the clowns.

I am kicking myself big time. God u don't know.

[clamgal]

sorry, I don't use filters, so I'm clueless

with a new tank I always buy a fish that looks cool but doesn't cost much and put them in before I put my nice ones in.... after testing the water of course.... you never want to kill a fish on purpose...

[moe]

what kind of filters do you have?
sorry, I don't use filters, so I'm clueless

It an "Aqueon" 55 wet/dry and "Skilter" with built in skimmer. I use these for my smaller tanks. For my 125 I have a fuge.

[PhilipB]

just dont use damsels to cycle your tank!! unless you like them than go for it....took me forever to catch those suckers in my 150
