Last night i killed my fishes.

I think they got poisoned when i turned on the filter which i took out of the water for a few days. The beneficial bacteria must have died and decomposed..so when the filter came back on it spewed out toxic waste. Either that or the tap water had too much chlorine. I filled up more than half the tank with water straight from the tap.

Little corpses tumbling in the current. They looked like so many little plastic replicas. I scooped them out with a plastic spoon and flushed them away.

I'm carrying the deaths of 9 fish on my shoulders. Guilt is a heavy burden to bear.
