I woke up this morning to find my main 4 foot tank completely empty, and all my fish sitting on top of my gravel!!! This was made worse because I had only just moved all my pleco's (apart from a large pair of Bristle-nose's) into that tank while I waited to sort out my new stand (12' long x 2.5'wide with 3 shelves). What had happened was that the center brace had popped off which in-turn caused the front edge to pull away from the side.
So far I have lost....
3x 9cm Clown Loach's
1x 6cm Clown Pleco
1x 6cm Matto Grosso Ancistrus
1x 6cm Queen Arabesque Pleco
1x 17cm Feather-fin Syno
4x Glass Catfish
1x 13cm Elephant-nose
5x Pristilla Tetra's
and 1x 300watt Heater
I'm not sure if my other fish will make it as they are all covered in a 'peeling' white slime, which does not look healthy, and they are very stressed!

Will post some pic's later....
Cheers, CatBrat.

Man, that totally sucks! Here's hoping that your other fish pull through.
