yeah she will be, i suppose its like going on a ride at a water park ive had pleny try to use this method as a means of escape and they dont do it again for sure

i mean she didnt get stuck, well only when i panicked n stuck my finger over the other end just b4 she got sucked up

the tube is wide so she didnt get wedged and came out the other end in the bucket

shes now sulking in the tank

pleb

i had a danio that did this once it looked a bit wonky afterwards, it lived though and seemed ok

i dont take my eyes off the area while I siphon the water now, the only way to be sure that none go up!

lol bloody too nosey for her own good

Every time I clean the gravel in the livebearers tank I have to scoop fry out of the bucket and chuck them in the fry tank

Don't worry, she will be no worse for wear.
I have had them go down the drain and nothing happened to them. Just scooped them out and cleaned them up without much trauma to them.

how far down the drain? lol

 

[Phoenixbaby]

shes fine this morning, except a tear in her fin, think she got in a scrap last nite lol

 

[newfishy]

she should be good, I sucked a fat platy up once, forgot to check the bucket as I was dumping it, poured her down the drain and then saw her at the last second...ran outside and collected her out of the gray water gully.

about a hundred feet down my kitchen pipe and still swimming eating and popping out babies

Id just watch for any nips or tears that might turn infected, not likely if you keep your water good and clean though

Almost to the point of no return. I put a net on the end of the drain pipe and flushed her out.
She was a Longfin CT Female.
