Unfortunate Event

[Jephex]

I moved my molly fry to a new tank last night, they all looked great in the new tank, an older fry and a new one. I searched the breeder for any more, it looked completely empty, searched it more. No more babies left. All of them are in the new tank. I take the breeder wash it, dont feel like taking it apart now, leave it on the counter, go to sleep. When I wake up i finish washing it, i take it apart, and nudged between pretty tight spots on the breeder are two molly fry. I felt so bad, like i understand when they die of natural causes, thats supposed to happen, but these guys couldve had a shot at life, and I was too lazy, and it was at their cost. I know they're just fish but come on.

I think the most you can do is consider this a learning experience, and be much more careful next time.

They're so tiny and easy to miss. You did check twice so don't be too hard on yourself.


Maybe they'd already gotten stuck and died and that's how come you didn't see them?

*hugs* Its ok. Don't dwell on it too much and do your best to care for the rest.
