nanoreefer Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 ...and dumbest I've ever owned. I put kept this guy in a breeder net (in the main tank) for 3 days after purchase to make sure he's healthy before releasing him. He ate live blackworms like a pig and was nice and fat. I decided to release him today; he swam around pecking at the rocks happily. I went to dinner and came back to this (sad)! Not even 3 hours after release. 26 bucks down the toilet; and that's where he went too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I dunno -- IME a healthy fish won't get pinned on a powerhead intake like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 powerheads suck!!! (forgive the pun, I couldn't help myself). That really sucks big time. I know I don't have the pod population to have one of those fish... Someday. Someday. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
