I came home tonight after a 6 hour drive to find my 29g plant grow out tank with 3 inches of water left and the carpet soaked. This is the tank I had just put my gravid gold danios and long finned red glow danio males (fish I had just grown up) in last night and they spawned. I also had a red glow light leopard (VERY RARE) in there that had also spawned. I lost 3 of my male red long-finned glow lights and my leopard female.
All the eggs are lost. Plants are sitting in a bowl. I also had amano shrimp and my blue berry shrimp in there. The two leopard danios and the one lone red long finned that survived and the shrimp are in my 125g tank. I sure hope it's cycled enough for the ammonia. All my briggs snails are also in there. Water is all over the carpet. I have wet vac-ed until I'm exhausted. I've used almost every towel in the house. Then tank split in the bottom underneath glass length-wise.
BOO HOO HOO! My worse loss was the red long finned danios and the leopard glow light. The LFS only gets a leopard once in a blue moon. I think I will fill the plant bowl up with water. Maybe some of the eggs will survive and will hatch. Who knows!
