Well some of you may of read that monday night my coldwater 130 litre tank cracked and managed to get the 2 goldfish onto my temp tank. well I had them in the bathroom for now on the floor, I know not a good place, but today I was going out this morning to get a new tank for them.

we live in a small one bedroom flat/apartment and the bathroom has no external window, (can you see where im going with this :crazy: ).well this morning I walk into the bathroom turn on the light and before the room is bright i walk straignt into the tank, glass breaks water everywhere, look down and the water is red, wife runs in to rescue fish again, both are ok but my leg was not so good, so we both clean up the water and blood then look at leg, nice gaping hole with tissue sticking out. so up the hospital we go, 2 hours later after an xray to make sure no glass is inside the wound as they could not see it as it was quite deep, then they stitched it up. back home now got a new tank for fish on way home, but leg is throbbing and feels really bruised.

so notes to self, never wait an extra day with fish in a temp tank, never have any tanks on the floor esp in a dark room, even if its not for long, and always make sure the bathroom light is fully on before ever walking in the dark.

ok ready to be flamed for being a right idiot :grr: (cant be worse than what I have already been called this morning by the wife :blush: )
 
Oh god, what terrible bad luck! I can't help but feel your fish are very lucky though, having survived two broken tanks in as many days. Maybe they're stealing all your luck? :P
 
Oh man that sounds nasty. Hope your leg heals up quick! Glad to know your fish are alright :lol:
 
You must have give it a good kick in order for it to break.

its not that i kicked it as such but rather sort of tripped on it and my leg gave way into the tank then it broke from the top down. with glass having no where to go but into my leg. They say bad luck comes in 3's, well two so far with tanks, lets hope it aint my 180 litre next. :blink:
 
:hyper: sorry i should not laugh but you can see the irony, seriously though i hope you are ok first :good:
and welldone on saving the fish :hey:
 
Ooh that could've been really nasty, poor you. Plastic tanks from now on maybe...
 
thanks everyone for the nice repsonses. the leg did not bother me, it was the 2 fish we have had years I was worried about. They are swimming around in there new tank now and seem fine. now got to get rid of 2 tanks that are now sitting on my balcony. oh and got to buy a spare tank, one thing this has taught me is, have a spare tank which I did for the first disaster, always found a spare tank handy but even more so now.
 
Poor you! I would have got a big plastic tub, just to prevent the "trouble comes in 3s" scenario! :D
 
glad you and the fish are ok, i bet your leg was sore mate.
