Hello everyone,
I woke up today to find my smaller clown fish stuck in a power head.... How should i go about getting another one?

Do you want to get another one?
And I'd also cover up that powerhead to make none of your future fish find the same impeller induced fate.

Yeah my plan was to try an breed... Yeah i need to find something to cover it up with or just take it out maybe...
So the one that's left if it isn't already a female it's going to become one since the other died, right?

Thanks,,

Bigger usually is fem, so yeah, get a small one.
Check those hagen quick clip covers on FS

Ok thanks,
The quick clip on filter? I have one but it's huge and ugly... I seen someone use like a piece of foam or something once. If all else fails i'll probbly get another Koralia...

For Maxi-Jet powerheads, you can purchase a nice small, "not too hard on the eyes prefilter sponge."

Thanks,
I'll have to look i have the aquaclear one and it's like 8" by 3" wide..

FWIW, healthy fish should not be getting sucked into powerheads...I would make sure that the clown you have now is in good health before adding another, and as always QT, QT, QT!

They were fine it was a little .5" clown hiding beside my half inch intake 300gph powerhead... it's been reported that it sucks fish...
