My first tank crash - Page 2

Oilers · #1 11-01-2011, 04:51 AM

I lost my sailfin tang, regal tang, flame angel, copperband butterfly and coral beauty. The naso tang is doing extremely well. He and the foxface are the only fishes that were able to swim through the whole ordeal, just hyperventilating. I was surprised to see how hardy both of them were.
Of all the fishes, the sailfin tang was my favorite because somebody gave it to me as a gift. Steve at Red Coral is a very kind person. He offers me one of his tanks at the store to use as a quarantine tank if I need one. He will also try to find me a replacement for the sailfin tang as soon as he can. Maybe he can offer it to me as a gift too

Thanks Steve.

That is truly sad and devastating loss for sure. I will keep my eyes & ears open for some replacements for what you lost as well. I have a couple sailfins but my small one, which I rescued is slowly recovering from HLLE & the large one is huge waiting for my 300. Same with my Regals both almost 6" body only. I don't know if I could keep going if I lost all my livestock especially all my tangs.

haha I totally was going to insert a no more tears joke

(I thought it was supposed to stop tears not create them)

Sorry to hear about the tank, I like the teaching the Do's and Don'ts of a fish tank.

I hope everything turns out well. Good Luck.
