So what do I do, just let her be and hope she makes it? I suspect she has internal bleeding

Her belly has turned black

Was she stuck in the pipe

She managed to get sucked up by my HOB fuge, and was being bombarded by a torrent of water right next to the propeller

My stupid clownfish has literally just lived a portion of the movie Nemo...

Well only time will tell if he or she will be fine I've had a maroon get caught by a power head for over an hour but he was never the same

The important question is did he survive?

that novice guy · Feb 12, 2013

The important question is why you dont have a screen over the intake of your HOB fuge? Seriously, you should do that.

that novice guy · Feb 12, 2013

Just let her be in the sump or away from others like inside tanks and out side people so notthing will stress them out. Give the clown a day or 2 she will be find as long she No open wounds.

The intake valve was about a dime large, I stupidly assumed she couldn't get in there. Well the fish died, She as looking okay this morning, but I came home and she was on the bottom, on her side dead as a door nail.
