About two weeks ago, I finally got to put fish into my 50 gallon tank! I was so excited. I had been saving my paychecks for a long time to afford the tank ( I'm only 16... paychecks are minimal at 8.50 and hour) I put some beautiful angel fish in the tank along with a few gorgous quite expensive guppies and an albino cory. (I decided to spend a little more for some great fancy guppies because I planned to have the tank long term) Any ways, after spending about 500 (plus change) on the tank, filter, plants, fish...ect, I had a bit of a problem.
One week after I had finished introducing fish and adding decorations, I came home to a huge puddle on the kitchen floor, apparent that the leak was comming from upstairs, I ran upstairs to my bedroom to find 50 gallons of water and all the fish on the floor. I managed to save Trevor (My one finned albino cory) but he was the sole survivor...
The tank had come apart at the side, which in turn split the whole frount pannel off the tank. So aside from loosing my BE-LOVED tank and my fish... We have a very very very large amount of water damage to my bedroom and the kitchen...
That is my first, and pretty nasty fish horror story.
