This happened to one of my cromises. It was a very healthy fish and one day while doing matnece on my tank I got frightened and was sucked up by the powerhead. He didn't make it eighter now the last surviving one schools by himself/herself.

We had a three striped damsel in our 20 gal. We had just put in a new power head and thought we had the guard on the intake, well, turns out that we forgot to put it on and the next morning, the damsel was a solid little ball stuck in the intake. Not a very happy day.

Hey salisbury, you got sucked up in your powerhead?? Wow...bet that was scary. lol You stated "I got frightened and was sucked up by the powerhead." That never happens to me when I do maintenance. Next time, maybe I should try getting INTO the tank. I'll tell you how it goes. *Sorry, I just had to call you out on the mess up...it was too funny just picturing the scenario. I was just imagining someone with an algae scraper whose finger was being sucked up by the powerhead with this desperate look on their face while their fish swam casually around them....too funny. lol *

You mean all I had to do to get the pesky damsels out of my tank was run some powerheads without the intake gaurd? Good trick, would not have been a bad day for me., LOL
