So I went out of town and had a co worker I will not call him a friend.
Him and his girlfriend was supposed to stay at my house and add the top off water to my emergency sump. Well needless to say he didn’t and it dried up and cracked my heater and it had enough water to electrocute my whole tank so I lost a fully stocked 90gal Reef tank from crabs to fish and corals!!!! Estimated value of $5,000.00 Plus the stuff I was adding didn’t last in the water I had to make up. The fish were already hyppo and the snails is how I found out I added the snails when I got home at night and saw them look like 4th of July little snakes that you light and the little black cube grows that what happened to my snails the were getting the shock of there life and so did I when I went to grab one to see what was going on. Needless to say he said he felt bad and he would help pay for the stuff. He never did!! Not one red cent.

lost a $59 dollar tang (like a "Dory" from Nemo).
Our power went out and we tried really hard to save it short of mouth to mouth.

$75 FW "L-75" pleco (fancy-a$$ new pleco yet to be named) Brought him back on the plane from down south and dropped him into my cichlid tank....He didn't even make it to the bottom before they got him!
They didn't bother the other pleco but this one had to expose his soft, tasty belly on the way down....*sigh* Felt bad for that fish, more than anything.

The only fish I've lost so far was my first fish. It was a clown fish from ***** for $18. It died a day later. I went back in to the store later that night with my brother to pick up a couple things and all the fish in the tank it came from were half dead, or dead. I told the manager it was BS and they let me get a Maroon clown. The maroon is now in my brothers tank, because he wouldnt give it back. Put it in his because I was about to be moving. He gave me $20 for it, so I made $2. He still has it.
I've lost an anemone that was $8, my first peppermint shrimp, which was actually still alive when I flushed it. It wasnt moving til I put it in the toilet and I wasnt about to fish it out.....
I also had a huge hermit crab I gave to my brother, and when I was out of town he put it back in my tank and it ate my cleaner shrimp. I took him to the LFS and told them they could have it.
I did have some zoos that have now vanished. I cant even find the rock they were on. Kind of upset about that.
