#sewellia spotted

A few of my dead fish collection. I have more jars but these were in the box I was going through.

The first one was a group of L260 I had. The heater overheated the tank while I was not home. Lost $300 of fish that day. The other jar is a mix of hillstream fish. These were the dead when I got columnaris from fish I quarantined four months before putting into the tank. Lost most of my hillstream loaches, gobies, and almost quit. My $100 loach is somewhere in there.

I like collecting the dead. Fish are in a solution of rubbing alcohol and water (mostly alcohol). It’s been almost three years for the L260s and seven for the hillstream. Still keeping their “color” and skin. I’m amazed they lasted this long in the solution. I want to display the jars but I don’t have room for a shelf so the jars are in boxes until I get a bigger room.

Small sewellia spotted juvenile. A few have started popping out again after I sold a lot of the other offspring during fall.
