First Fish Rescue!! - Aquarium Advice

Bhunsucker · 07-04-2005, 11:46 PM

Well I had my first fish rescue tonight and we both survived! Today we had purchased 3 black Mollies. Well tonight we had gone to see the fireworks and when we got home the first thing we did was check on the new tank members. I saw two of them swimming around and couldnt find the other. Well it looks like the other got a little to close to the AquaClear intake and he was halfway sucked in the tube. I turned the filter off and he swam away. Hopefully he will survive. He looks to be ok. I have no idea how long he had been in the tube.
