(This is freshwater stuff if you recently in my other poll says you don’t want to see freshwater, then just click away now, please don’t leave bad comments about it)

So recently, I got 3 amazon puffers (super cute ;) ) anyways, a 2 of them finally got familiar with me and would come up for food. This is only about 2 days after I got them. I have an apex dos running To do auto water changing about 4 gallonsin five hours. Apparently I think that made th e pump to fast (I have changed it now so it has 10 hours). Anyways, yesterday, I cane home to only see 2 puffers. I figured he was hiding but I checked everywhere and didn’t see him . I checked the floor next because I have had a number of fish die From jumping. Then I saw him. He may have been curious to see the tubing and then since he is only a few inches long, and his body was thin, his entire mouth was stuck there. I found him three dead with a tube like shape on his mouth. Here is a picture if you don’t like dead fish don’t look.

Sorry this happened. I wouldn't think that that pump would have enough pressure to do this. Then again maybe it does.

I don’t know i mean usually if I set it to “on” there is a certain speed. However on the schedule, it was going so fast it was literally shaking the entire module. Should i contact Neptune about this? I think one of the pumps are broken now from trying to get water when the puffer was stuck there...
