I recently bought a new fish tank and a long with it was a new filter and a chinese fighting fish… however, 3 days later the fish tail got inhaled by the filter and it died instantly. now i have 2 little goldfish and i dont want the mistake to happen again. So i put a stocking over the filter part where it inhales water but i dont like the way it looks. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Blocking the intake will make having a filter pointless. I doubt your fish was killed by the intake unless it was designed for a swimming pool. Chances are he was close to death or already dead when he got to it.

    I wish you better luck with the goldfish

    Your goldfish should be fine. Fish get stuck to the filter when they are close to dying or the filter is to big for the tank. Chances are your fish was all ready close to dying when it got sucked to the filter. Take the stocking off because your filter won’t function properly.

    I had neon tetras in my tank once and the filter intake was bigger than them. I went away for 2 days and I found it stuck in the filter (it got stuck to the side, my filters bottom piece has indents) It died first. I think yours did too.

    Place a grill round it anglers use nets to land fish the netting should be adequate to put round a frame work to shield the filter without impeding the filters operation.
