Found one of my sens jammed face first into the intake of a AC110 powerhead just a few weeks ago. I either run them with a pre-filter or with nothing at all. if it wasnt for the little cone piece the poor little guy would have never got stuck.
Has anyone ever had a fish get sucked up by the filter?

This has happened to me just ten minutes before posting this reply I bought a 2 inch jardini Arowana from Australia turned on the filter 10 minutes later I came back its head was sticking out of the intake I pulled it out and it's mid section was destroyed I am going to destroy that hob filter when I wake up in the morning and going one of my LFS to get a 60 DOLLAR refund I just hope they they will refund me I will burn the hob filter it was only 13 DOLLARS and it KILLED a 60 dollar fish that sucks now I will never buy and Arowana again that is a shame they are cool fishI was doing a water change on my 5 gallon planted tank, then after I plugged back in the filter it didn't turn on. I replaced the filter with a spare hob filter (used same media), but then the hob spare sucked up one of my zebra danios, it took me a while to notice too.
When I unplugged the filter, the zebra danio came out, the fins were all torn and it looked slow and it was convulsing, long story short my other filter started working again and that was that, gonna see tomorrow if the zebra danio gets better.
So anyone else have stories about fish getting sucked up into filter intakes?
Had a baby feeder guppy sucked into the filter that lived there for a month.
Before I was able to modify my filter when keeping mollies in my 20 gallon, I probably rescued over 50 molly fry from certain doom. Turkey baster worked quite well to get them out of there haha. Poor little dudes!
Been worried about my sae's knocking off the guard on my xp4, should reinforce it. It's sketchy and the tube is a perfect sae width haha.
