For the past 2 days, my son has been concerned over the whereabouts of his smaller first osphro, Dolar.
I thought it was just hiding well because my son splashes a little when he does his 25% changes and there are now 8 of them. 4 paras and 4 selantens. Today was the 50% which I have to help with because everything has to be cut off and the water bucket is too heavy.....
Poor Dolar was one of the two smallest fish, she had been sucked up the intake tube of the hob. It has a basket but she was small enough to be trapped in it anyway. As soon as the power was off she dropped out!
The horror! The wailing! "I told you Dolar was in trouble! Dolar is deeeead! Poor dolar!"
And I had to make it a 75% because the water had to be wonky! Last test was Friday.
I have since put fine mesh there to avoid a repeat now! looks hokey, but safety over esthetics! Poor poor fishy..to drown in a dark tube.. *sniff*
i was rather horrified myself......
