I'm sorry you got sucked in small fish

I was thinking of buying this one too but I felt this was a bit too long for my tank. I bought the smaller version but my problem was that there are times that sand gets sucked away from time to time especially when the debris is entangled with the sand. But it was just a few pieces of sand that I was able to return back to the tank.

@rsa101 you can use it to stir the water, debris is lighter than sand, it could be dismantled to get the sand back, btw I don't siphon out direct to the drainage but rather to a 4 to 6 gallon pet bottle then flush it down the toilet. I don't put sand in my tank for easier maintenence, you could opt for larger pebbles, gravel or marbles, if you prefer to have something under, they are easier to clean than sand.

Hello @louievill If you have seen my last few discussion, that suction tube is identical to yours. the trouble is the fish was way too small. Nope, not mine, like what I said in my last post about this suction tube, I might going to buy a new one. I don't put sand anymore either I have gotten rid of it months ago.

Hello @SophiaMorros yeah, he didn't deserve to die like that.

Hello @kareng I was hoping to just care for them until some one gives birth to new fish. It was so sad.

@Letranknight2015 You will get new babies soon. Head's up. You learn from experiences.

@kareng I probably buy a new one instead.

Hello @rsa101 I think the suction hose has been at it's due and need myself of a new replacement. Your shrimp is still bigger compare to my baby fish that got sucked in.

@Letranknight2015 fingerling are really small. My shrimp can also get through it but I guess he’s good at avoiding it.

@rsa101 good for your shrimp.

Hello@RasmaSandra I will be careful next time and probably create a divider on the fish instead.

Hello @birjudanak yup it's a disaster that's for sure. It won't happen again that's for sure.

@Letranknight2015 you will now check twice from next time and i am sure it will not happen again.

@birjudanak Yes, I will check the fish before i do this.

Hello @rakski maybe next time I will just separate the small fish if I ever seen one.

Hello @Janet357 Maybe next time I will just separate the small ones or create a separate area on the big tank for them.

Hello @JudyEv yeah next time I'll just check on the fish when ever i do water change.

Yes I would @thelme55 it's rare to have fish being born on my tank.

Hello @Janet357 they are babies, just still small.

Hello @ZedSmart well, Nemo ended up in the Ocean, this one ended up in the Septic tank, which was really the end of the road for the fish.

Hello @Starkinds The bigger aquarium has a top filter which prevents it from having algae. I'm thinking of buying another one for this aquarium, I've had it with this green stuff of theirs.
