brad.
i agree with the above statement.
none of us can judge anyone else if we have fish in a glass box. and that includes tank raised fish.
as all fish would have better lives or at least the lives they were ment to have if they were in the wild.

That's why all fish keepers alike should just keep the fish they want. regardless of tank size. i think tank size is less of a factor then people.make it out to be.

would an extra 50 or 100 gallons have made a difference. with this MI .....not likely.

good luck with the next MI.

Also, don't throw stones if you swim in a glass-box.

We've all killed a few fish. For me though it's how the fish came to its end. I take every precaution I can to prevent unnecessary deaths, Imo and strictly Imo if you killed a fish out of neglect then I would really suggest not buying another. If you did what you could to save a fish but it still perishes then no issues trying again.

Agreed. I have a strong feeling I know what happened, and it's something to avoid next time. In a nutshell, I think I poisoned the whole QT. All fish are now gone.

I was a meanie today, too. Caught a nice looking cutthroat off my dock. But after getting the hook out he flipped out of my hand and back into the water. Lucky him, I was looking forward to a nice trout meal tonight, although he wasn't the biggest (just a 12 incher). Heading out there tomorrow again, maybe he has a bigger brother that I can catch.

Seeing the bucket of Achilles reminded me of a joke I heard once.

"How do you pronounce Achilles? ... I kill these." Said by a large importer of tropical fish in LA.

Speaking of low oxygen levels at night in aquariums. It might be an idea to not dose carbon sources late evening and at night because the bacteria consume a lot of oxygen. They also lower the redox.
