fish stuck in python tube

I doubt he will even remember the incident after a day or less. If he
apears to be swimming and eatning normally now, you shouldn't have any
troubles. Too bad they can't speak huh?

I was cleaning my gold fish tank with my big python tube and I turned my
head for a second and my fat shubunkin got sucked into the tube. I
finally
was able to shake him out, but he looked a little dazed. Has anyone done
this before? Will he be okay? What a bad fish mommy I am.

Hi Sarah, I put a nylon knee high sock over the end of my python
becuase I sucked up one of my pearlscales once. If you have gravel you
will need to remove the nylon to vacuum the gravel but put it back on
while draining the water. My fish had a few little scrapes on her side
but recovered just fine. Keep a close eye on your water quality and
maybe add some aquarium salt or polyaqua to help heal any scratches or
scrapes he/she may have.

That's a great idea. I will definitely do that from now on. I think the
fish is fine, It is still trying to eat everything in the tank.

LOL! They are like eating machines. Good to hear your fish is okay.
