Re: Flagfish and Filter
>
I have another amazing fish story. I had bought some SAE, approximately 1.0
inch
long. I also purchased a new filter (upgraded from the Fluval 303 to 304).
Anyways,
I hooked up the new one and decided to leave the old one going for a while.
Two weeks
later, I was missing one SAE... found no body. Got busy and didn't get around
to unhooking
the old one till another two weeks later. When I was taking it out, I noticed
that one of
the vertical bars on the strainer had somehow broken out. Well, anyways, I
was dumping
the scummy water into the sink only to find my missing SAE flopping around in
my sink.
He was a little more than half the size of his tank mates. He was pale and
his fins were
slightly ragged, but nothing too serious . I put him back in the tank and now
can
no longer tell the difference between him and his tankmates. He lived at least
two
weeks in that scummy, yucky, filter! Amazing.
-Cindy - currently battling a green water problem after an anacharis melt
down. The
tank has been covered for 4.5 days and I am taking the blankets off tonight. I
hope
this works. I've been doing the diatom filter thing, but it just wasn't
working. I gave
the tank a good diatom filter before I covered it, so hopefully, this will have
worked.
