Got up in the night 3 AM. Stepped in lots of water on the floor. Turned on the lights. One of my 29 gallon tanks, the one with my prize angels (home bred by a friend), had 4 inches of water left in it. And the water was pouring out of the seam like a waterfall. Scooped the angels out, put them in the 55 with my mollies and swordtails. Unplugged the filter, heater, etc., while standing barefoot in water. Didn't get electrocuted, thank god. Grabbed the python to get the rest of the water out , so it wouldn't be on the floor. Figured, The quickest way is to start a syphon with my mouth and throw the end out the door. Got a really big mouth full of fish water. Coughed, choked, ended up swallowing a big gulp of fish poop water. Nothing will make you closer to your fish than a good swallow of mulm. hahaha. Thank god I woke up. At least I saved the fish.
