I just learned a very sad thing :( But for anyone to understand I must first write something about myself. Along with my family I moved from a big city into a small village some time ago. My parents hated living in a big city so they builded a new home on the countryside (about 30km from the outskirts of the city I lived in before). Now I live in a home on our own (not really big) part of land and I have an endless forest 5 minutes walk from my home.

The thing is we have a pretty big pool of water made in a japanese-like style and we had many beautifull fishes in there. Koi carps, colourfull crucian carps, amurs and some other. We made this pool ourselves, decorated it and cared for it. Yesterday we removed most of the water from it to clean it up. I worked half of the day, hurted my hands and got myself covered in mud (and worse). But we did a good job and were very happy with it.

But in the night came the worst hailstorm I have seen in many years :( The level of water was still low and all the fishes died :cry: Every single one! I almost cried when I saw this. I even started to recognize individual fishes and considered giving them names, and now they are all dead... I just can't believe we had so much bad luck! If it came an hour or two later when more water flowned into the pool every fish would have survived...
