CAE

susitna-flower · April 4th, 2007

It wasn't intentional, but my Hated Chinease Algae Eater bit the dust! * *I put him over in the new 50 gal. to start cycling it, and after two days, this evening I went into where the tank is and was looking for him.........NO CAE in sight. *

*Found him on the floor. *All dried out! *I had even found him a home back at the LFS. *This teaches me a really good lesson, NEVER NEVER NEVER buy another fish without research first. *I am not one that likes aggressive fish in the tank, and he will be the last!

So sorry to hear that. Now all I have to deal with is one, always hiding CAE that is about a good 2.5-3".

Aww, poor thing.

I haven't had to deal with fish getting out yet, but I've had escapted newts that dried up. Not fun.

I'm sorry to hear that. Wasn't there a tank cover on?

The cover doesn't cover 100%. In the future, when I put more fish over there, I will make sure all the holes are plugged. This was a a very good lesson.

I already learned my lesson a long time ago when my female guppy jumped out of her tank.
