A very sad report on the raffle Discus from Kraig

[korbi_doc]

Ok, have to write about this sad situation.. had a terrible disaster this past week....the heater in one of my discus tanks failed & I didn't find it in time to save them...these were the raffle fish from Kraig...I'd been planning to take pics to show everyone how well they'd done & went out to the fishroom to do a W/C & they were all dead....they had been fine in the morning, tho the temp may have crawled up some....

They had been doing so well, grown a half again in size, colored nicely & pairing up & I was ready to take pics to show everyone & I am just heartsick over this.....the only good side if there is one, the altums are in another tank next to them & they are fine, also doubled in size & so so frisky...never saw fish eat so well & so fast!! Now I know what others mean when they say they'll out eat discus, no doubt there!

This has been devastating, I am just so heartsick & so sorry...

I'm sorry to hear this Dottie - maybe try to think of it not as a loss but an opportunity for new fish.

I'm sorry, Dottie. I rememeber how excited you were to have won them and how very much you liked them.

I'm sorry to hear that, it happens, sometimes out of your control, this morning I woke up to find 3 of my fish dead and one is dying, don't know if he'll make it, I did a water change yesterday and I made two changes don't know which is the problem, first time using "safe" and I might of overdose, I also had a powerhead which I used to put O2 into the water and for some reason I tought I didn't need it any more, so I did a water change and I'm seeing that the rest of my fish are fine, it's been a while since I had a lost like this, but it hasn't been my first time so I just didn't let it get to me.

Never give up, never surrender,..... we're did I get this?.....
