Keep finding fish/loaches in AC110

[Convict2161]

Anyone else? Mostly my Botia loaches or CAE there alive all the time just swimming around one of two AC110's. Anyway to prevent this?

Happened now about 4 times. Haven't lost a fish just noticed them swimming about.

That's your filter, right? Just put a piece of sponge where the intake is, so they can't get up there.

Yeah my filter (aquaclear 110)

It has sponge, poly floss and bio rings and they still somehow get up there. Crazy little guys.

I believe Scottyhorse is saying to put something like this on your filter tube so the fish can't get in the filter.

Yes I understand that. There not being sucked into the intake. They literally swim or jump into the filter, the top part. My fish are way too big to sucked into the intake.

oic. only thing I can think of is lowering the water level a little bit.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if that helps. Maybe my crew is just crazy!

Botia loaches enjoy high current, they come from fast moving streams, and they're also incredibly able jumpers. Maybe the filter gets them hyped up, and they simply dive into the filter! silly gooses
