but i came home from school today to find my fish dead.....he hadnt moved since this morning, and was in the spare tank with my filter from the other tank AND the regular filter from the spare tank running. last night i went out and bought a little 'breeding' thingy to hang on the side and i put him in there so that the water could be running while he didnt have to worry about being sucked up...i also used the Mardel Coppersafe stuff. I also bought these tab things, by Jungle, called Ich Clear, they look like alkaseltzer. i put one of those in the bucket with the gravel and half of one in with my healthy fish just to make sure he's ok....but i noticed last night that whenever i come near that tank, or turn on the light, he darts like MAD. theres no visible signs or anything except for the fact that he looks a little..bloated i guess? he looks longer, vertically. but i dont know if that is just because he's in a hexagon tank, and not a rectangle one and maybe that makes a difference? this is now the last fish i have...and he's my oldest. i dont want him to go, even more than i didnt want my other one to....this is soo darn frustrating and i BET that none of this would have happened so bad, so quickly, if my stupid tank wouldnt have broke. i mean, i know that it probably would have happened slightly but i KNOW that the fact that i've had to move these fish around 3 times, from bucket to bucket to tank in less than 3 hours definately stressed them both out. i hate this so much. and to top it all off, now i'm not so sure i'm getting a new tank after all, the lady at nnnnnn made it seem like i wouldnt even though the people at the tank company told me i would.

to everyone who's helped me thus far, through email and the old board, a big THANK YOU. i dont know waht i would do with out you all.

Awww. I'm sorry to hear that Chelsea.

Try to be persistant about getting your tank replaced. If the manufacturer has a contract with the store to replace faulty tanks, Then someone has to honor the garauntee. Hopefully you will be able to get it replaced.

So sorry Chelsea about your misfortunes. Sometimes we just cruise along, minding our own business, at peace with the world and ourselves .. THEN, WACK! over the head with a big stick!

It's one of life's little disasters and I'm feeling for you over the loss of your fish, keep your chin up, sweetie.
