Re: Oh! I've flushed my sexy shrimp into the toilet!
I had been keeping a group of 10+ sexy shrimps in a small system ( mainly for various macro algae ) for a while. The tragedy happened early this morning when I performed my weekly water change and I had siphoned one of the shrimp without being noticed into the 5gal bucket. By the time I poured the waste water into the toilet & noticed the poor little guy. Well, that was a bit too late for the shrimp was being flushed away before I could do anything to save it. Sigh! I learnt a good lesson & put a warning sign next to the tank reminding me to be more careful in the future.

When I first got my starry blenny I was working around the kitchen sink and dumped it into the fish net which he promptly slipped right through somehow and right down the drain. I was livid, checked under the sink and there was no trap! Luckily I ran downstairs and found the trap for the sink in the unfinished ceiling. I opened it up into a container and out popped a bunch of pennies, a fork and the blenny! I ran back upstairs and chucked the fish into the tank. The fish survived and is still going strong.
(Un)fortunately you wouldn't do that with a toilet.

My first clownfish I was getting ready to acclimate him, they put so much water in the bag that I had to drain some, when I got to my bucket to drip him... Now clownfish I quickly ran to the sink to see him flopping in the drain grabbed him popped him in the bucket and he's still the luckiest little fish in the tank. Lol he was just slightly too big to fit down the sink, luckily.

I wasn't looking one time while siphoning water out for a water change... was using a fairly large siphon hose (1").... Copper Banded Butterfly swam by and got sucked to the end of the hose....guts almost all sucked out. I have never forgiven myself for that one.
*** Hey this feels good to get that off my chest!!!! New thread idea? :-)
