I'm sorry, I can't stop buying them........

Ok this sucks, and totally my fault. Went to Vegas for 3 days, and decided to add another 2 days last minute. So coming back and only 8 survive........then 3 died over night with 2 of them made to my sump somehow, and a big one just got crushed or stuck in a rock and die....... Not going to vacation for a while.......
How did they die? Starved for 5 days? My new baby purple tang wouldn't eat and starved over a week and it still made it.

No offence dude, but you kind of suck at this.

Stop playing dumb games.

You had more fish die in 3 days than I've had die in all or my reef tanks, ever.

Maybe buying a bunch of hard to keep baby tangs for the LOLs isn't a good game plan.

Can forgive new hobbyists who make mistakes but you knew you were being stupid and now you've killed a bunch of fish.

Like I said I take it it's my fault. However all fish is being added to the store, for 2 days then into to hobbyist tank few days later. Some fish dies in wholesaler, and at retailer all the time in a day or 2 due to stress or starvation. This come in the hobby, and cost of buying and losing money. I'm not happy I lost these fish, and about few hundred down the drain, but it won't stop me from buying them either.

We all make mistakes in life you need a bigger tank . And when you go away a auto top up and a auto feeder . Always put the thought on your fish health. Move forward and learn from mistakes. Don’t buy anymore fish and save your money for a larger tank . Good luck
