As it says in the title, i realy feel like giving up, as i have been away for a couple of days, and come home to an almost wiped out tank Crying or Very sad

Have lost a lot of fish in the space of a few days, to an outbreak of velvet, that all i can work out was brought in with the new clowns, am gutted

sorry to hear that mate, but looks at people like Gecko on PF things happen for a reason and if this happened perhaps youre meant to go in a different direction

Very sorry to hear that Clunkster, would that I weren't across the pond. I'd send you some lovely fish to refill that tank. Hang in there mate.

Cheers for the kind words mpp, its not easy watching, just gotta hope the fish that are left, will make it. When i went away there were 20 fish in the tank now there are 5 Crying or Very sad

Woolfman, not sure i wanna carry on never mind change direction, have lost some nice L numbers, which is basicaly all i specialise in.

Bummer, clunk.

Do what you gotta do...but I'd hate to see someone who I consider one of the sharpest plec guys around get out.

I'm hoping you stay at it...but will like you even if ya don't. Wink

Oh man. I feel for you clunk. I'm very sorry to hear about this. Please tell me this was in one of your smaller tanks? I would be devastated if it happened to all of the beautiful fish I have seen in so many pics and threads. Chin up bud. Sometimes its a blessing in disguise and you won't know that until later on down the road.

Cheers Funky Smile

Yea was in the 5 ft tank, unfortunatly so were a lot of the smaller L numbers Crying or Very sad

So thats is what has been wiped out. Still trying to get me head round it, not switched the tank off just yet.

Lets hope it is clear and you don't have any more losses. Maybe a q tank in your future I see.
