[UniQuaria] missing fish mystery solved
I’m using a foam cover for the intake of my HOB on the temporary RCS tank here in my living room to make sure none of them gets suck into the filter. I’m not actually using the HOB for filtration though, so that may make a difference. The foam cover would probably act as a sort of pre-filter in a normal situation.
I’m glad you solved this mystery and that it wasn’t apparently your betta at fault.

hey guys, so i go into my living room this morning and i look into my tank and i am down to 3 cardinal tetras (from the original 7)…..well in looking around for them i think i have figured it out. i think they have been sucked into my canister filter. i saw one’s head (very much dead) poking out of the intake tube. it has a cover on it to keep large things out, but it lookes like they were just small enough to get in. when i get home today i will have to open up the filter and i am sure i will find 4 dead fish in there. what should i do to keep this from happening again? i have a spare media bag, i was thinking of tying it to the filter intake. does that sound like a good idea?
thanks, marcelo
