...My precious albino pleco Vincent died yesterday...
I didn't do any research before I acted, and I put "No More Algae" in the tank because there was a TINY AMOUNT OF ALGAE.  ...Now I find out it's best to just manually remove the algae...   The "No More Algae" chemical f*cked up the PH really badly, and Vincent became VIOLENTLY ill in an insanely short amount of time.  By the time I noticed it, it was too late.  I changed the water, put in a PH stabilizer, and medication for his stress and sickness, but it was too late.

...I loved that fish.
I had him since he was a tiny little speck.
I'll be honest, I rarely actually cry about dead fish, but Vincent was special, and yesterday I was not doing so well about this.
But I cried my face off, and now I feel a bit better, but still...
...It was all my fault.

...I'm sorry Vincent...you were awesome...I will miss you, and for many reasons, I won't be able to replace you.

NO IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT AT ALL! D:<
I've heared many many people are having trouble with that product or anything with sodium bromide in them, they don't display proper warnings on the bottles and the instructions are unclear.
you only did what you tought was best for your fish friends, some algae can be dangerous for their health.
