A Florida woman was arrested for allegedly pouring hot sauce in a fish tank, killing seven of the eight fish inside, during a fight at her Summerfield home on the 4th of July, deputies said.

According to the Marion County Sheriff's Office, 51-year-old Tracy Bogan walked into a bedroom where her daughter and a man were in, and began arguing with the man.

He closed the bedroom door to separate himself from Bogan, but she pushed her way back in and started to hit him, an affidavit stated. At that point, Bogan decided to pour hot sauce into a nearby fish tank.
After that, she reportedly continued hitting the man, who deputies said defended himself. He told deputies he placed her on the ground to stop her from hitting him, and she allegedly "began to hit her head against the floor," the affidavit stated.

He told MCSO that he began recording Bogan prior to the incident and showed the video to deputies. In the video, Bogan did not have any blood or injuries at the time she began hitting him, the report said. The man, however, had a small cut above his brow.
Deputies took Bogan to an Ocala hospital to be treated for her injuries. While at the hospital, she allegedly showed deputies a video of the dead fish floating at the top of the tank.

When asked why she poured hot sauce in the tank, MCSO said her reasoning was because she bought 75% of the fish.
 
I had a party in college where somebody put something in my fish tank and killed a bunch of my fish. That was 1992 and I’m still fucking pissed about it.
Perfectly understandable, I did Reef Tanks for over 20 years, at times I had thousands of dollars worth of Fish & Livestock housed, had someone did this to my tank she would look worse than in that mugshot.

I got out a couple years ago when I could no longer shake the feeling that you are god over some poor creatures universe, and any slight mess up or negligence can immediately end their lives. In Reef tanks things can be far more sensitive than your typical run of the mill fresh water, and if your equipment dies and you don't have a spare, electricity goes out and you don't have a generator or backup power supply, creatures who otherwise wouldn't have suffered in the wild, suffer in the hands of your artificial universe. I support folks in the hobby, I just got out for my own sake. I 100% agree it's animal abuse.

Funny side note I dated a Police officer many years ago, and she told me this story of 2 siblings that were fighting and one flushed the others pet goldfish down the toilet, 911 was called, and she had to report to the seen and arrest the kid. I was thinking Hell Yeah! Little psycho Shit! But she proceeds to tell me how stupid it was over a "goldfish" and was waste of her time, that was our first and only date ;)
