The Miracle Tank

Fin · Jun 1, 2020

During the launch on Saturday, the feed was lost on the booster landing on the ship at sea. My friend at NASA posted this today from SpaceX. It is incredible to me that they can nail a landing on a moving ship in what appears to be not the calmest of seas. I just thought I would share this here since there was interest in the launch. Amazing stuff. Finally some good news to post!

He's gone. Just went to do a night feed and he was laying still on the bottom of the tank.

You all think the LFS will be nice and give me a discount on my next fish? I feel like only having this guy 8 days is rough. especially since the other one is good.

I'm so sorry. I hope they cut you a break.

Yet we can't confirm the lone shooter in the Kennedy assassination.

Thank you. Is it wrong to cry over a fish this soon?
Im getting teary eyed.

I was so confident I wouldn't mess up this time. So confident I would take better care of my babies.

Nope. Not wrong at all. Don't beat yourself up. It happens. We've all had it happen.

might not be a bad idea to wait a few weeks too add any new fish

It wasn't anything you did. Some of them just don't make it. Sorry for the loss.

Here’s my story from a couple weeks ago...Katrina is right..it happens to all of us

Two of the babies died. One was still in the net when I put them in the container to acclimate them...I swore I saw all three. The other started swimming funny when I put them in the tank..moved him to the sump and he was dead 30 minutes later.

I probably won’t be around much. My heart is broken. It hurts when I lose one, but knowing I left one in the net.. I wish I had left them!at the store. At the moment, I‘m ready to give up the tank. Maybe I’ll feel differently in a few days..

stay safe everyone
