crendon2003 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 So i got home from work and looked at my tank as i always do and i see I'm missing a clown fish i start looking around the floor behind the liverock, and nothing. Then i look in the corner overflow and like a magician, he is chilling the the corner overflow. I turn of my pump immediately and attempt to get him out, took me 15 mins, seemed like he liked it in there.I'm just glad he didn't get stuck in the tube... or hurt!!! Anyone else have something like this happen to them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryknow Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Oh yeah, I had a a fairy wrasse jump into the overflow box on the back of a 215 while I had the anti-suicidal-fish egg crate lifted for maintenance. Little ******* was almost impossible to get out because the over flow was in the middle of a high tank backed up against the wall. Ended up pulling the pipe and flushed him down into the sump Good thing he was skinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+boognish Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I had the exact same thing happen with a mated marroon pair. After 2 years, she decided she didn't need him anymore and he preferred the overflow to her constant harassment... I never saw him do it, but he ended up in there all the tine, somehow.

dshel1217 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I had a wrasse that tried to commit suicide twice. The first time I found him all beat up and put him in QT for a while to heal up. A few weeks later he was succesful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
