nemo got stuck in my pump. 24g nanocube

[zigster]

i was just sitting her surfing the board and my wife asked where one my clowns was. theyre always out in the open, so i went to take a look and i found him sucked up against the pump in my rear chamber of my 24g nano-cube. i got him out and he seems to be ok except for a round mark on his side and his eyeball is swelled up, he was only in there a couple of minutes. has anyone else ever had a problem like this? i didnt think there was enough room for anything to get back there. i have the stock hood.

im sorry to hear that. i hope he makes it. my sixline had a similar story like that. he jump in my rear chambers but nothing happened to him! thankgod!

but im sure you clown will be ok!

Watch him. Make sure no secondary infections develop due to stress and any lacerations. Also if the pump sucked the eyeball out a bit he might lose it.

Go to www.mediabaskets.com and look at their fish saver. They have one for your tank. I think he's closed down right now because he's moving but he creates a lot of stuff for nano's. Go to the aquapod category and you will see what you need.
