Hello everyone. My name is Jonathan and I am a fish killer.

I was once draining a tank with one of those siphon systems that hooks up to your tap. I left the siphon primed and sitting on the tank unattended while I ran to the tap to flip from drain-to-fill. When I ran back I noticed a black mass in the hose. It was my black moor.

Black moor is the big puffy black goldfish with gigantic googly eyes, typically about 2.5" when offered for sale. The typical siphon/tap system uses 3/4" diameter hose.

On a separate note, I also killed a mushroom recently. I finished a water change and noticed my salinity was a bit low. I got lazy. Instead of draining out some water into a bucket to dissolve more salt... I put some salt in a shallow container... lowered it into the tank to dissolve and let overflow. Some salt mix got out and landed directly on a shroom... actually it was a Rhodactis. The shroom had a hole in the center clear to the bare live rock. I guess it's actually not killed. It's still recovering, with the living flesh still flapping about... and that was about 2 weeks ago.

On the topic of confessions. I am also a coral molester. I can't keep my hands out of my reef tank, moving things around. My wife yells at me all the time to stop bothering the corals.
