Anyone kill a fish on accident?

[buzzojones]

I got called an animal abuser on Reddit because I didn't realize that taking a fish from LFS salinity .016 to .025 is a multi day affair not an hour. So he died and I pretty much tortured him and I feel horrible

Worse things have happened.

I won't buy out of tanks that run low salinty. It can suppress disease that becomes active when fish are acclimated to normal salinty. I introduced velvet several years ago adding s fish that was housed in 1.015 salinty.
Sorry about losing the fish. It sucks and a life was lost but all you can do is learn from it and maybe say a prayer to the fish gods asking for forgiveness It's not like you did it intentionally.

Yeah that's absurd. Don't take comments like that to heart. We have all lost fish; I put a Coral Beauty to sleep yesterday because of problems. It's hard, but all we can do is try harder and do better next time.

The interwebs can be a brutal place. Especially on Reddit. A loss of life is never easy or what any of us intend. Although it does happen. Learn from it and remember that R2R is the best community for the salty friends. Anywhere else is sub

I read it on Reddit, therefore it must be true.
