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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Ydi for not quarantining them, like a normal fish keeper with a brain.

Well, you can't argue with that logic.

Well, as others mentioned: you totally deserve it for not quarantining.

You know, I said both FYL and YDI. It's sad, and it shouldn't have happened...but the others are right. Quarantining is a sort of essential process. Fish stores do it, as will any respectable hobbyist. Learn from this and do better with your next tank.

The new fish must have been purchased at Wal-Mart, my man bought some from there after I told him not to & guess what happened...

that's why you quarantine new fish

If you get new fish, you're supposed to keep them in an isolation tank for a week. You're also supposed to have a heater set to about 80°F. Both help prevent your problem

Partially YLS, because nobody likes dead fish. Partially YDI for not quarantining the new fish.
