Hey Guys,

On Sunday Morning I got early, Did My Water change and Everything Else.

Went to the LFS on the way back from Northampton.

I have already Posted about the Tailless Angels I Got.

But I did not Tell about the females I Got.

I spent 1/2 Selecting the Most Beutiful Females from Loads that he had Specially Ordered.

Well I Chose The Following.

2 Pure Platinum ST
1 Butterscotch VT
1 Pineapple CT
1 Red Spade Tail
1 Red Delta
1 Red VT
1 Pearl Mixed
1 Royal Blue CT
1 Mustard Gas Blue/Yellow


No I Kept them In Quarantine Just To be Safe on Sunday.
By Sunday @ 5pm 3 Were Dead with Burns All Over there Body
By 7pm 2 More
By Monday Morning 2 More
By Monday After Work 2 More.

I was SO GUTTED that all the females apart from the Tiniest Platinum, had Died. At first I thought I had Done something Wrong, so Rang Him From Work @ Monday Lunch Time - Assistant Answered and Said to Call in on Wednesday and He woudl speak to Me.

So This Evening After Work I Make the Visit.

He was Also Gutted - Monday Morning He had Loads Of calls from People Who Purchased Fish On Sunday, Saying they all died looking as if they had been burnt.

He Lost ALL the remaining Females in the space of a Few Hours.

So he Rang round the Breeders who had been in During the week and on Saturday that had Purchased Females - None of theres had Died and were all being Fattened Up.


He Tested the Water and It was Fine Apart From EXTREMELY HIGH COPPER CONTENT.
His Assistant had not locked the Tank During the Day and Someone had Put somethng in the Water Late on Saturday.

He Had Lovely Females in for a Change as This was his 1st Order from a New Supplier.

He felt well Annoyed that the assistant (His SON) had not paid attention to the Tank and left them Unlocked.


Thankfully The Tiny Platinum has not been Affected and is Doing well in Her own large Bowl With some Apple Snailes and Tiger Shrimp.
 
Dude, that sucks! It hurts enough loosing just one. I couldn't imagine loosing 9 in the space of 2 days! Sorry for your loss. :rip: girls and may whoever messed with their water be cursed and loose all body hair, finger nails, toe nails, ears, nose, teeth, big toes, little fingers and belly button, and be forced to walk the earth as a freak of nature to be picked on, spit on and kicked to the curb for the rest of his life.

I agree.
AND I wish upon them velvet, the human equivalent of finrot, ick, parasites (internal and external) and multiple severe infections on all their remaining body parts.

Why on earth are people so evil? :grr:
 
THanks Guys,

But the Day Just Got Better.

Went to See a freind this evening @ her new house.
Well I missed her house and Found a Wide enough Drive to turn around in, further up the road. I slowed down and was indicating to turn right.

The car behind Me Overtook me as I was turning and drove straight into the side of me, I just got back from the Police Station to report the Crash, As I have hurt my back.
 
Wow, sounds like you should not be buying any lotto tickets anytime soon.
Sorry to hear you're having so many problems. UUGH!

psst - I see on your avatar that you love the 80's.
I secretly do too. EVERYTHING about them.
But don't tell anyone. :rolleyes:
 
:crazy: aww thats awful, my tap water has a very high copper content and my bettas have always been just fine, infact the copper leaves the water once its been sitting around for a while, i seriouly dout it was copper, some jerk must have slipped something into the tank. lfs owners need to keep an eye out for this kind of crap, doing something like poisening someones stock is certainly punishable by law and could land those responsible in jail for atleast a year. it sickens me, who could do this, has humanity lost its marbles :/ . the burns sound alot like bleech or some other kind of cleaning product. :sad:

Hope your back gets better, im just learning to drive and when i go out i get assholes in the wrong lane, trying to push me off the road, tailgateing me, its crazy. But its nothing a quick hand gesture doesn't settle real quick.
 
Oh..what a day! Sorry to hear about your accident..hope you back gets better. It could have been worse..thank your lucky stars! :nod:
 
Hey Guys,

It Looks Like More than The bettas were poisoned, The Replacement fish. All Died in the Bag.

Considering it was £15/27.4018 USD Pounds worth of Female Bettas, it was Nearly 30 Mixed neons and Glo-lite tetras.

Also Been Busy with the Car. I contacted the AA Helpline and they are Sorting Everyting For me So DAD doesn't loose his No Claims Bonus with Ford.

I will Get a Courtesy Car and They will Claim all expenses from his insurers as he is @ Fault. It was a Good thing I reported the incident as I have A Statement for Evidence within 2 Hours of the Accident Happening.
