Today, I received a few new fish for my aquarium as presents for my birthday. It just so happened that these fish were carrying diseases that left me with a tank full of dead fish. Happy birthday. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, two of my daughter's fish died after owning them for a year. Yesterday I spent $400 on a new bigger fish tank so that they would be happier. I built the stand, set it up, and got everything running. All I had to do was let it run for a week so that the pH would be fine for them, and then move them across. FML
Today, I found my brand new tropical fish dead in its tank because my boyfriend got drunk last night and decided to pour red wine into the aquarium. FML
Today, I woke up and checked my fish tank. I thought the temperature was too low, so half asleep, I turned it up. Now all my fish are dead. FML
Today, my favorite fish died. To make things better my parents thought to take me out to dinner. We ate sushi. FML
Today, I came home to my boyfriend emptying his bowels into my aquarium. FML
Today, my sister presented me with an "official pet killer" award after yet another goldfish under my care died of unknown causes. FML
Today, my mom was criticizing how I can't handle taking care of any living thing because I'm too irresponsible. We had a huge argument so I went back to my apartment, only to find that my fish had died. I forgot I had a fish. FML
Today, I bought a new Siamese Fighting Fish. I was so happy with my new fish so I bought him an expensive lovely bowl, some weeds, and a toy for the bowl. I left the room to get the fish food. When I returned, the fish was gone, and the cat was sitting on the table. FML
Today, my 5 year old fish died. As I was flushing him, he started swimming again. FML
Today, I came home after having traveled abroad for the last two months. Before I left, I'd asked my dad to take care of my fish, and he promised they'd be safe with him. I found them all decomposing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Next time put new fish in a medicine/quarantine tank for a few days if the fish look questionable, or if you didnt pick the fish out yourself and see the rest of the fish in that tank.

You can pretty clearly diagnose an Ich infected fish visually. As far as the tank full of dead fish, find out where they were bought from, go there and raise hell! Make a scene that they sell infected marine life and their fish will kill everything in your tank!

That's why you quarantine new fish in a separate tank for a least a week before adding them to your main tanks.

Poor fish. Most pet stores will have to compensate you in some way, so just show them the dead fish and explain it.

you need to question the person that bought you those fish.

I hope for your sake you didn't have any super expensive fish in your tank. If you did, and can prove the new fish came with a disease, I'd get the pet store to replace them! Is it a salt or fresh water tank?
