here's another story where the fishtank falls victim to criminal mischief!

Man says cat stolen, chlorine dumped in fish tank

BISMARCK, N.D. – Police said a man reported a strange burglary in which the property involved had four legs and fins. Police Lt. Randy Ziegler said the man reported that whoever broke into his home dumped chlorine in his fish tank, killing the fish, and made off with his cat.

The man is not sure if he will be able to use the $12,000 salt-water fish tank again. Ziegler said the cat is valued at $100.

What a douche! If I were the victim, I'd catch him and pour chlorine down his pipes.

$12,000? That's probably what the guy said to collect the insurance money. Sounds like the work of an ex g/f or wife, otherwise the cat would have met the same fate as the fish.

All About Fish In Long Beach got bleached a few weeks before they went under. I was the one to spot all the dead fish. That was a bad day!

They think a competitor came around and dropped a cup in the sump, and the cup was still in there.
