I was at a wedding when my sister called me and said there is water all over the floor 'cause the 10g fry tank broke. She tripped over some boards then the boards crashed into the tank, twice. Two times because after she put the boards up the first time tripped over them again.
She quickly got a 5g bucket and moved the fry from the tank to the bucket. Some of the fry were 2cm long and the others 4mm, all of the 2cm ones survived but it being a windy day one of the 4mm got blown away and never found.
Among the other survivors were the pleco "Horvitz", the moma platy "Melena", the 4mm fry that didn't get stressed out and croak, and the amazon sword.

So here is to the one that blew away.
