fright this morning

cor what a scare.
just got up and did the usual count up on fish,
1 Clown
then I heard this funny flapping noise in the tank.
open top to find Nemo on the narrow ledge that goes around the inside of the tank.
I dont know how long he's been there Marmalade was panicking
swimming round him.coming to front of tank looking at me..lol

Now you all know I don't/wont touch fish.....never been able to.
(I can't crumble a oxo either..lol

I came across my fears and flicked him in the water..
he disapeared for a few mins.now back swimming with Marmalade.

(should have left him really he's the one that bites...

So should you count up and find one missing
CHECK THE LIP AROUND THE INSIDE OF TANK.
I also found a Danio dead once on the glass cross member in a tank..

My water level at the top is inbetween high and low,
well lucky Nemo is all I can say................. Phewwwwww.

Jeez chez, these fish are sometimes more trouble than a bunch of kids!!

Good job you get up early isnt it!

Ooh i hate it when that happens!! We all know that felling

The recommended aquarist method...

How the heck did he manage to get up there in the first place??

chez look to purchase a comb to attach to the top of the tank to stop that hapening again. I have read many times of fish getting stuck and dying from trying to jump into the rear chamber........strange fish....it was doing a nemo

hi chez good to hear you got up in time to find him - he mite not bite you anymore now you have saved him
