I left a single zebra danio in a tank that was turned off, no light, no food, no water changes, nothing, nada for close to 7 months.
To be fair, I purchased zebra danios to be my cycling fish, and this dude just wouldn't die. It wasn't a newbie mistake, I was well aware it was bad, but the dude just wouldn't die.
I still have him today, and I respect him that much more.

To start off, when I first got my tank I washed my new tank with dish soap. Then preceded to add 3 different types of Tetras the same day... the crazy *******s are still alive today and I love em!
On Monday I left the radiator on while I was at class (forgot to turn it off) and when I got back the water was well over 86.

Researched everything before setting up a new 55g, cycled, had 7 lovely mbuna juvies. All was well the first month, growing, eating, happy happy; woke up on a Saturday morning to a tank full of dead fish!!!! Pondered, cried, yelled, threw things, then got rational and checked entire area. Found the durn sponge I used to wipe up test spillage fallen to the back right where the water comes pouring out of the filter. The one time I forget to put the blasted thing in the proper bucket, I set it on top and somehow it fell in. :hitting:
Oh yea I for got. My first water change! It happened 4 months after the set up, and at the time I had a ton of fish!
I had 2 channel cats, 2 irredescant sharks, 4 red eye tetras, 1 hujeta gar, 3 yellow labs, 3 bala sharks and a TSN. Yea I know, I was crazy, but I didn't know. I still have one of my channels, and the TSN eat everything else. But, the n he died choking on my last yellow lab.

its those kind of fish that you love so much and don't want to lose because they survived everything lol
well i had 5 angels, 4 gouramis, 11 neons, 5 serpaes,1 bn, 1 cae, 2 glass cats in a 30 gallon tank. 1 and a half years ago but then i learned after about 8 months then got a 40 gallon i put the survuvors in a 15gallon i had 2 of the gouramis untill september. i still have the bristle nose.
In high school I had a whole series of fish I kept one at a time in a 1 gallon bowl because I couldn't afford a tank. None of the poor fish lived more than a few months. The worst death was a tiger barb. I went to camp for a week and my mom fed it while I was gone. Did you know a tiger barb floating upside down looks almost exactly the same? It had been dead for days and she didn't notice.
