A story of survival

[northrebel]

With the holiday period and my health not quite what it should be cleaning my sumps has become very difficult for the time being ( will get better ) so today I managed to get under the aquarium and to my amazement I find a little pup alive in the k1 section of the sump. He's been down there 10 days. pretty tough journey to get where I found him.

That's an impressive journey for any fish let alone a newborn pup. Is it feeding ok now you've relocated it?

 

[northrebel]

Here he is a little male. Feeding as well

 

[northrebel]

Few marks on him but otherwise ok

I couple of years ago my 1" green Texas got sucked into my canister because I forgot to replace the strainer. I figured it was a goner. About 5 days later I decided to clean out that particular canister. Found the little guy swimming around on the top of the filter in about an inch of water. Lucky for him it was an Odyssea brand canister which is designed with the pump om the bottom. He's grown into a beautiful fish and I still have him today.
