    I murdered them! All three of them. I poisoned them… :cry: :cry: :cry:

    I moved them to their new quarters with fresh water from the tap, but did not bloody add the conditioner before adding them. I was in a rush, so did not have time to observe them for long. THey seemed fine at first, then the male was stressed out at the top.

    I thought he was just stressed from the temperature change, and thought little of it.

    When I came back from karate to check on them I found three dead bodies, red from their skin and gills burning form the chlorine. :cry: I can’t forgive myself for this. It’s all my fault, and I feel terrible. :x

    I don’t know what to do. To try again with new galaxies, or give up on them, seeing as I made such a dumb mistake on these guys…

    I’ll think about it for a while. There’s no rush. If I do, I’ll try as hard as possible to get domestic bred ones.

    Shit! Shit and freaking crap! I can’t believe this! A terrible end to a rotten day. :cry:

    And I thought yesterday was aweful. :(

    I know exactly how you feel Atlantis :cry: I also killed some of mine last weekend due to my own stupidity…I whacked the heater right up to quickly raise the temperature in a breeding tank, forgot about it, came home to find my poor glowlight danios dead, mouths wide open and the temp at 110f :oops: :cry:
    Please dont give up on the celestials….search,hunt,beg and borrow to get some more, you deserve them and they deserve you. Goodluck x x x x x

    Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. Sorry to hear about your losses, but think of all the experience and good judgment you can use toward their replacements!
