I have kept tropical fish for about 8 years now, and I still consider myself to be a begginer,
I have the average community aquarium, with easy to keep tetras and the such....
recently I came back from 3 yrs at uni and I decided to stock some new fish (as my tank only really had 2 or 3 fish left in it), I got a range, including 2 angel fish, 4 guppys (2 male, 2 female, for breeding), 2 otocinclus (my tank was looking a little green), 5 neon tetras and 1 corydorus.
Unfortunately, all but the otocinclus have died, due to becoming stuck behind my filter during the night,
I am gutted about loosing so many fish, not only can I not afford such losses, it is upsetting for me as I have never had much of a problem with this filter. All these fish died in the space of a week, most within the last 2 days.
Appologies I realise this is no help, but I dont know the model of the filter, other than that it is a simple box filter from interpet.
I have tried looking at how they have got into behind the filter, and I cannot work out why or how they have managed it, any advice is welcome.
also any help on a possible new filter that would be better in the £15 - £35 range would be apreciated.
This is my first post so go easy on me,
thanks in advance guys,
