Worst day ever.

My mandarin swam into my MP10 and got all messed up. I hope he can make it.

Dopey fish, things happen. Sorry for the mishap. I watched my friends anem become ground anem. This was before I was in the hobby, so I didnt know how to react. Long story short, he was pretty ****ed lol.

I had one of those 2 weeks ago, did a wtaer change and forgot to plug my return pump back in and flip the switch on the surge pprotecter to turn on my powerheads... woke up the next morning to find my Yellow tang(had for 6 years,one of the first fish i bought) and my gorgeous purple coral beauty (had for over 4 years) dead on the bottom and my foxface puffing for air! Luckily after a few hours my foxface was ok but still stung me when i reached in to make sure it wasn't dead too! Didn't lose any other fish

had the same thing happen to my first anemone, he decided to "float" around and got caught in one of my powerheads........

So I know your pain

I really hope it turns out ok for your fish

Pumps and PHs can really damage the insides of fish as well as just thier appearance.
