please be honest.
so far i have killed 2 crayfish because i putted 2 in a tank and one kiled the other one and then the injured crayfish died.
1 goldfish while i cleaned my 2.5 gallon tank.
1 firemouth cichlid because i putted him with a convict cichlid and he killed him.
1 tiger barb(well this WASNT MY FAULT, the petCo dude gave me a sick underfed one, he couldnt catch up with his school>:O.)
but now i own:
1 55 gallon tank with one 5" healthy pleco, a 7" red oscar, and a 3" convict
1 20 gallon tank with 5 blackskirt tetras, 1 4" gourami1 and 1 red tailed black shark
1 10 gallon tank with 3 zebra danios, 3 tiger barbs, and 2 cory catfish

i have kept all my fish tanks for 3 months now, these fish have never been sick, and i keep their water free of toxins.
 
Killed by my hand, or by age, disease, deformity?

age - too may to count
weak/deformed fry - unknown (parents ate them or they died on their own very young)
disease - too many to count (came in sick from store and died in quarentine)
by my hand (delibertly) - 3 (suspected TB and neon tetra disease)
by my hand (accidently) - 2 (1 loach was unknowly stuck in an ornament and dried out, other was a goldfish that was squashed when a decoration fell on it)

over 10 years of fish keeping.

currently:
55g community (tertas, danios, etc)
65g goldfish (300g pond in summer)
10g quarentine/growout

previously bred guppies for 8yrs
