I remember one time I put a light bulb in a lighting hood..well the bulb was kind of badly put together, so when I turned it on the bulb shot off across the room and our power went off roflmao.

Wow, that sucks. The worst thing that happened to me was when I took the filter out the aquarium and left it on the carpet. I thought I unplugged it but I think it was a filter plug. When I came back there was a massive whole in the carpet and the heater exploded with little fragments of glass all over the room. Let that be a lesson to you'll!

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon
(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.

Hmmm my worst mishap was putting the hose into my 10 G to fill it up, then I went to clean the filter and forgot about the hose. After a while, I started hearing waterfall sounds, went and looked and there was water just GUSHING all over the carpet. Not as bad as Christine's though.....just put towels on the floor to soak up the water and no long-term damage was done.

I knocked over a music stand and cracked my tank about an inch from the bottom. Most of my tanks are in the basement now and wet feet are a frequent occurance.
