Was sitting here, watching TV, and my housemate giggles, looking at the tank, I look just in time to see the end of Squishy's fin vanish into the filter outlet! I had enough time to launch across the room and yank the power cord from the socket and wiggle the fish free, he had his head stuck in the inner bit of the outlet, and is again SQUISHED but normal. Little moron. So I have wrapped the filter in a mesh material. I am tempted to shove the whole filter in a pair of old panty hose and stitch it together at the top just in case he tries to get into the tiny slits the water goes in. Fricken fish wants me to stress to death! Should I shove the whole thing in panty hose, or would he not try shoving himself in the inlet?
This is the filter: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem. ... ct=HG10165
its a fluval 2 if the link isn't working. I didn't think he would be able to get into it thanks to the out flow, but they've been very active and the filter has been packed with plants and sand, so I've cleaned it and shifted it up off the bottom but under the top on its side to keep most of the stuff well away from the inlets.
Thanks
