ENTIRE TANK DEAD! (how did this happen) | MD Fish Tanks

This is not good and I don't usually like making these kinds of videos, but sometimes these things happen and I have known it to cause people to give up the hobby. I need to show all the ups AND the downs. Bummer as I said in the video because any animal that dies under your watch is horrid, but we pick ourselves up, learn and move on!

The worst fish deaths are the ones where you don't know what happend

Hey Md im a vet nurse and sometimes when we medicate for certain parasites, the parasites have attached to the organs in the fish already by the time we do treatment. Therefore the medication helps to paralyze and kill the parasites, but in doing so they usually detach from the organs and cause massive bleeding internally, so all the fish basically go into cardiac arrest. U did nothing wrong

The feeling of watching your fish die in front of your eyes cannot be described. I feel you brother.

I lost my Betta couple days ago. Even the death of a fish can hurt. A pet is a pet and if you love your pet losing it will hurt anyway. 😭

This is what I like about you MD. You show everything the Good and the bad ✊

Man ...for the first time I wished it was clickbait :(

I started keeping fishes as a hobby because I was so lonely during lockdown. I've learnt a lot from your channel.. And frankly speaking... Losing pet fishes is traumatic for me the first time it happened..

I’ve been going through a lot the past year and half. Battling depression and anxiety. I used to have a lot of fish tanks before I got too depressed to take care of them. Your videos have given me motivation to start up another planted tank. Thank you for what you do.

That panic feeling is real, sucks man just not healthy fish

This happened to my guppies once. One day I woke up and checked on my tank only to find half of my fish dead. Honestly felt like giving up on the tank and just giving it away to someone else as I felt the loss of their lives was on my hands. I was crying as I was scooping out the dead guppies. Few months after the incident, my guppy population has recovered and my tank in general is doing a lot better.

I'm one of the silent followers who watch your videos without commenting though I always try to hit the 'like' button, but I felt I should thank you for your open honesty in publishing your bad news as well as the good. I get so much learning from watching you and just love your humerus style. Please keep it up for newbies likee who have been inspired to get back into this pastime. THANK YOU 😁

I've had the chilli's before and I've had extremely fragile ones and ones that would not care about anything at all. I think it's pretty much the same issue like with neon tetra's and overbreeding can cause big issues with the fish.

That's tough MD but well done for documenting everything, a lot of people would have shied away from a vlog like this. Good luck with the new batch and all the babies!

This is why I will always watch you. You keep it real just like us. Thank you for your leadership in the hobby!!!

Thank you for this video, as difficult as it must've been to make, it was immensely helpful to see what you did to intervene, test the water, retrace your steps and try to figure out what happened. Ultimately, it wasn't an easy answer but it is good to see this side of the hobby, so the rest of us don't feel like failures if it happens to us.

That "The Kickoff" theme between scenes had me shook. Was expecting Gordie and Lawz to come through thrashing

The trusty net-holding kettle strikes again...

Thanks for sharing bro. I appreciate the insight. We all suffer losses as hobbyist, but you hardly ever see anyone sharing those losses on vids. You showed people how to jump into action, and after the total loss you simply didn't flush and forget, you still looked for the cause then took precautions not to repeat whatever happened. Your passion for the fish shows, and your willingness to help others by sharing your experience has earned my sub. Good luck and have a better week!!!

I was shocked when I saw the title to this, everything that you do always seems so amazing so the idea of you loosing a whole tank just seemed impossible, I mean no disrespect when I say that it almost made me feel a little bit better about sometimes having an issue and not knowing what could have caused it, I'm truly sorry that you lost the tank but I thank you for sharing this with us
