Filtered White Cloud...

[Acrus]

I was shocked to see my poor little white cloud get sucked up by the filter yesterday... I have never seen somehting quite like it before. He just Swam up to it, and then *zap* got sucked up!

I quickly unplugged the filter and pulled him out. then put him back, he was a little slow and shook up from it, but none the worse after about 3 hours. Very strange indeed...

You should put a sponge over the intake, like the ones on some powerheads.

good to hear he's ok

can you put some pantyhose (tights)over the intake so i won't happen again?

I'm going to try that actually. Funny thing is, I returned from work the next day and AGAIN! the little bugger was happily swimming around in the filter. For some reason he just can't get enough of it. Sneaky devil!

So i'm going to put some hosery over the opening, at least untill he gets big enough that he won't get sucked up anymore.

Whenever I clean my tank, I've noticed my Yo-yo's are often hiding in the filter compartment. They don't seem phased, and I see it as a retreat for them. They're a very hardy fish.
