Just noticed my poor female dalmation Molly stuck to the sucking intake part of my new filter, and this also happened yesterday to one of my balloon mollies. Did water tests on the weekend and there was nothing to worry about. I'm also worried that any fry born would sucked straight in. Is there anything I can do about this?

She is also spending a little bit of time sitting at the bottom of the tank although she is also spending time at the surface. I examined her for scratches and she didn't appear to have any, and has been entirely healthy up to now as has the fish yesterday. I'm still a little worried though. Is there anything I can do for her? I have some tri-sulfa but not much else other than what I use for water changes.
 
This rather happens to sick or dead fish. Healthy fish can hardly get sucked up by a filter unless you've got something like an FX5 on a 100l tank.
