First fish vs power head

Sounds like the little guy is just freaked out...I'm sure it'll survive.

Reminds me of that old joke...Whats red and white 100 mph... A frog in a blender.
(never said it was a good joke! lol)

I found him now hiding under a rock seems like each time he moves away from the rock he just keeps on spinning and rotating in a odd way that fishes don't do. I was able to catch a few pics. Should I put him out of his misery? Quarantine n medicate? Or let him be. I can't really tell but It may look like he's missing a piece of meat from his belly. Poor guy

If you have a quarantine tank I'd put it in there to see if it will heal

[ckmullin]

wow....looks like he is hurt. are there noticeable spots on the skin which look red as if bruised?

[jason604]

He didn't make it. Went to fishy heaven now =( after taking out his corpse there was a chunk of meat missing from his belly. MAKE SURE YOU GUYS CHECK UR POWERHEADS BEFORE STARTING IT!!! Don't want this to happen again!

One of the reasons why I never turn off pumps or powerheads when feeding...

Only time I ever shut off the pumps or power heads is for cleaning them otherwise they always run.

Don't worry about your crabs and snails they will always find stuff to eat
