Really sorry to hear that Ruth. It's hard to lose your favourite fish. I gave in to the temptation of shutting down my fowlr when that happened last year, but I'm glad I kept my reef tank going. Hang in there.

Oh no. That is so hard to take, I feel so bad for you. I'm so sorry Ruth. Please don't give up the hobby, take a breather if you need, but the hobby is better off with you in it than not.

Sorry this has happened to you.

It could happen to any of us.

If there were some sort of battery-powered alarm that goes off when power is cut, it would help prevent this type of accident.

I know, believe me I know, how you feel right now. To have some cherished friends whisked away in the blink of an eye leaving you in complete shock, can really test your will.

Having also lived through several tragic accidents that severely tested me, I can at least offer the perspective that you can rebuild and in time find joy in the hobby once again.

Sorry about your fish, I hope you find it in yourself to stay in the hobby. I've lost a tank or two over the years and the only thing that stopped me from returning to it right away was money. I found the passion never really leaves you...sometimes even despite your best efforts to do so.

Good luck either way.
