Hi Colin. Which kind of filter are you using? 1+, 2+, 3+ or 4+? How large is your tank? Which fish have troubles with the filter? I think your filter is powerful too much in comparison to fish. I also count on that your fish are too small. If you kept larger fish they’d be safe. Solution is to put something in front of the filter so it will minimize the chance of being sucked/stucked into the filter, or to buy less powerful filter. the developer of http://www.aqua-fish.net Yes, I am very busy.

Hm, tanks size and filter seems to be OK in my opinion. I would focus on potential disease in this case. Since I keep small fish and have very powerful filter in my tank, I can say it’s nearly impossible to suck any mature for a filter. Do your fish have any symptoms? White spots, abnormal colouration/ excrements/ body changes? the developer of http://www.aqua-fish.net Yes, I am very busy. So accept my apologies since I cannot visit this forum too much.
