I'm a new aquarium owner and I lost 2 of my scissortails and found them in my over flow. I need to know what to do. I'm affraid to pull away the sponge filter at the bottom of the overflow, because I think my fish will be sucked into the filtering
system. What should I do, is it safe for them to be in there, how fast do I need to get them out and how do I prevent this
from happening again. Thanks in advance Martyfish

If the fish are above the sponge, dont remove it. If it were me, get in there, net them, and see if it hapens again. It might be a one off event, but if it isnt, you can also cover the tank better so they cant jump over the baffles, or, if they are going through a comb overflow perhaps use something like a mesh or gutter guard made of plastic to prevent them squezing through.
