Ideas please!!!

Post by Wendie » Sun Jun 04, 2006 1:00 pm

I'm cleaning all my filters prior to my vacation. I dumped the dirty water out in a catch pan (thank goodness) when out popped 5 black kuhli loaches from my aquaclear filter!! Since I had carefully blocked all the intakes so that would not happen, I can only assume that they followed the outflow stream 1 1/2 inches up into the filter.

One had a small scratch on his back but they looked good otherwise and took off into the tank. Hopefully they will be okay. I've used this filter for 7 or 8 months with them without a problem so this was a surprise.

I cut a small piece of plastic needlepoint canvas and inserted it in the filter just at the open box end. They can still climb the outflow but I think I have blocked them from actually getting into the filter.

Can anyone else come up with any ideas?????

Thanks
