    In my biocube14. I knew it was going to happen, I watched them swimming near the top and just looked in and one was gone, he was laying on top of my media basket with water flowing over him. He is now back in the tank but is there anything I can do to help?? Funny thing is I just ordered the fish saver today! FML! These are the Platinum clowns btw:-X

    It's back in the tank but how is it acting?

    I don't know if there is really anymore that you can do than you've done.

    try not to stress him out anymore and just wait it out and hopeful he will be ok theres not much you can really do to help him at this point.

    You posted while I was typing LOL.

    Just keep an eye on it. Like I said before there is really not much you can do.

    Try to figure out a makeshift barricade to use until the fish saver arrives.

    He's back in the tank and kinda hovering around like they normally do when the lights are out. Tonight they were hanging around the top and I had a bad feeling, hopefully iI caught it in time...theyre pretty hardy fish

    Its been a horrible 2 nights! Last night at about this same time I was driving home from work and came up on a horrible accident with a 20 year old girl laying in the middle of the road. She has survived thus far so it looks promising! Hopefully i can say the same for my over priced clown!!

    Yea I ordered one this afternoon believe it or not. In the mean time I made one out of egg crate. The female was going crazy looking for her partner, they're finally back together and calmed down...although I still havent!
