I have lost 3 barbs to strange things this. First barb got stuck in the intake on the power head, I freed him came back and hour later and there he was stuck again this time dead.
So I moved the intake all the way against the glass, and another dumb barb forced his way inbetween the the glass and the intake. So I took out all the barbs and put them in another tank, and one jumped out through the opening for the retrun pipe.
I will never understand how they can be so silly.

brcacti- I've never had that happen to me since I don't use plastic plants. I have seen it in petsmart though- a goldfish wedged himself into a plastic plant they had in the tank and was unable to get out.
