my sixline got sucked in by the skimmer pump as well. his eye was like 4 times bigger and all red. it was gross. hopefully it was quick.

mine was the same way...its eye was huge. i was just thinking about it dying quickly.

Crypt, thats weird you say that I just lost my six line saturday the same way. I always turn the skimmer off when I'm feeding and I noticed that he liked to swim through the strainer I have on my pump well I never thought he'd swim right in with it running, till I couldnt find him anywhere then found the poor guy sucked half way into the pump

Whats up with all the fishes going through powerheads?

I've never lost a fish because it was sucked into a powerhead/pump. The powerhead gods must have cursed you all.

Me either...all my power heads come with grates on them so it's very hard for me to even see it happening.
