What do you do to the tank when you find a fish has died?

  • I visually check the tank to make sure there are no sick fish, then I go about my day.

  • I break the tank down, give it a good cleaning, toss the media and start the cycle all over

This does seem way too simple:hmm:. If I knew the fish was alive and well (from what I could tell the day before) toss it then make sure that's the only dead one and everyone else is acting normal. Then off to work lol.
Or..if it's my african tank- look for bite marks and look for the guiltiest looking fish give angry stare then go to work.

i pick the fish out while eating a slice of pie and watch my other fish to make sure they arent all hopped up on drugs like their buddy was.
Nice..
Jaysee jinxed one of my tanks with this thread. after responding I glance at my tank and my albino redfin zebra was dead. Freakked out tore it down and bleached everything..even bleached the remaining fish
Ok well no, not technically..but I did use bleach to clean my kids bathroom later:lol:
Grabbed the fish tossed it everyone seemed happy to be rid of him in the tank so...um yea. thats what I did(didn't have pie on hand, rexpepper..darn). Oh lets not forget called the fish store to see if any new F1s were in stock.

I settled for wine this evening... poured a little out for my homie.. JK!! wouldn't abuse alcohol like that. I sipped some for my little albino. OK thats a lie. I just drank some wine. ;-)
Didn't change water because I tested it 2 days ago and was straight 0-0-0.
