I can't believe this happened and I'm not really sure how it did happen- but my betta Dragon got sucked up into the syphon while doing a water change today. I put the syphon in the bucket of tank water and was wiping off the glass and ... Where is Dragon??? I then see him swimming in the bucket! I don't think he went through the tube- just into the funnel and then got plopped back into the water when I put it in the bucket.
And he was swimming around like nothing happened! No fin damage or scrapes... I didn't notice until I was moving him into his new bigger tank that his eye was all red. It was the same eye that had popeye and was sticking out. His other eye is fine. But his eye is like... Sheared off? Ugh, I'm all squeamish, but it's kind of still attached but pushed up above the eye socket. Eeeewwww.
So bettafix? Salt? What can I do to prevent infection while it heals over? I have to say he is acting fine and enjoying his new bigger tank!
