filter cradle

[slt]

just wonderd if any one else has a internal filter wich sits in a craddle,
yesterday morning i fed the fish and notticed one of my corys was'nt there
i checked all through the tank could'nt see him, then i looked behind the
filter cradle and there he was , at first i thought he was dead, he was
cramed realy tight in the corner, so i took out the filter and the cradle to release him , when he came out he just floated in the tank, then after a few minuites began to gradualy swim around, he has a white mark
at the side of his head were he must of scratched it trying to get out,
it took him most of the day before he was swimming properly,
reckon i was lucky, any way i cut 2 big holes in the filter cradle in case
any other fish get in, so they will be able to get back out,

My filter sits on a cradle, i have an interpet ipf duo, never had any fish get behind its...theres just no gaps for that to happen, what filter do u have ?

 

[slt]

interept power filter, i don't no how it managed to get in there but it did,

Was it stuck on the glass properly ? i take it urs sits in the corner to ?

i'm not sure but i think one of the bottom suckers was away from the glass
i'm wondering if the cory was after trapped food that could have been in there, but i cut large gaps in the cradles just to be on the safe side,

many years ago i used to have khuli loaches that sat on the cradle... even managed to climb on top of internal filter sometimes....
