Guys, Have a question, I had posted the other day about my filter I needed
the extension tube, well I got one and it was the wrong size for my big
whisper, but fit my other filter I had in the closet that is much smaller
its for about a 30 gl tank, so I took the big whisper off and replaced it
with (cant think of name brand) just like a whisper but more rounded instead
of squared (same setup), I was worried about it not being strong enough to
keep the tank clean but figured I would use it until I found the extension
tube I needed, about ten minutes ago I found one of my black moor's stuck to
it, I pulled him off but it was to late.... : (
Now I am sitting here watching my red caps swim up to it as if they are
sniffing it, they are much smaller then the moor, so if by change it was to
strong they would get stuck quicker then the moor who was bigger then them.
One other thing I noticed for the last two days the black moor (I have three
so cant say for sure it was him) was down at the bottom corner a lot not
swimming with the other guys. But he was eating and other then that seemed
fine. Should I be worried about filters with these guys? is it likely he got
stuck because he was all ready sick? and should I be watching for something
since I don't know why he died? and now that I am worried about fish getting
stuck to the filter they have all decided to swim back and forth by the
filter...eww
In the tank I have
2 black moor telescope (had 3)
1 Ryukin
2 red caps
1 calico telescope
1 common goldfish
2 snails
In a 40 gl long (I think that is the size its only a few inch smaller then
my 55 gl)
NIk
Any idea if I should be concerned
