Filters Killing My Fish?

[petalpoppy]

i had 12 white clouds and they keep getting killed by my filter they swim around fine all day and then at night they seem to like to go behind it and get stuck in the bracket which holds the filter in place



does anyone know how i can stop them from doing this

what make/model filter do you have and what size tank

generally speaking healthy fish shouldn't get sucked in or stuck by filters unless they are seriously too powerful. Usually if the fish are getting killed like this its a sign that the fish have first been weakened by something. Therefore I'd advise your first port of call would be to check that the tank is healthy, if you can give us some more details of your set up we can help with this.

what size is the tank, how long has it been running, what fish do you have, what equipment and what are your current water parameters?

Yeah usually the fish don't get stuck behind the filter. My fish sometimes go behind the filter but they are fine. I guess they just like the spot where it is.
