I'm just done with fish tanks I think.
Same here. At least for now. I enjoyed the work of getting mine set up years ago and getting exactly the fish I wanted and having a lively community. When my heater thermostat broke while we were away on vacation, and we came home to a 55 gallon vat of fish soup, that went a long way in killing my passion for it. But I could see maybe getting back into it at some point in the future.
Heh, I had the same thing happen decades ago. Except in my case we returned home to fish-cicles. A bummer, but infinitely preferable to your situation.
Amusing corollary to that. Included in that disaster was a freshwater eel which lived primarily under the gravel. When cleaning up the wreckage his existence completely slipped my mind. It was uncommon for him to come out and swim around, so we never really thought much about him. We re-stocked the tank and life went on. Dozens of cleanings took place, and I even moved the tank across town when my domestic situation changed. Over a year had gone by, and then one day when tending to something in the gravel, that little fucker came out of nowhere and scared the bejeezus out of me. Not only had he somehow survived the big freeze but he managed to stay hidden from sight for well over a year, and certainly long enough for me to have no recollection of his ever being there. It was like walking into your basement and finding a squatter who's been living down there for years, cooking breakfast as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
Christ, that little guy scared the hell out of me.
