BlakeyBoyR Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Up until now I have been pretty lucky, I'd only lost one cichlid and that was when a small brichardi jumped out of the tank and dried up. However tonight, I was checking on my tank when I noticed the smallest Auloncara stuartgranti 'chilumba' wrapped aroung my HOB filter intake. The poor thing was well and truly dead, it'd been there for a couple of hours I think. It didnt appear to have any major damage to the body and the water conditions are fine, so all I can do is assume it died as a result of being glued to the intake. This has never happened before. Ive never lost a fish due to illness, fighting, water conditions .. anything. I knew it'd happen eventually, it is just a shame thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerospel Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Yep same here mate, I got AC500 with sponge covering the intake to stop sand and food get sucked in and this syno multi found a gap between the sponge and intake pipe and hid in there and couldnt get out, found it yesterday when I was cleaning the sponge I found bits of meat left and its been there for almost 2 weeks Im guessing cos Ive been wondering where the other multi was, and thats like 30 bucks turned into bits of meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
