I was cleaning out my goldfish tank yesterday and Basil accidentally got sucked up the siphon tube and into the bucket fortunately he is in one piece and is fine aside from a split fin. I feel so bad though
Poor Basil - but what a ride They're like moths to a flame though, can't keep themselves away from the siphon tube when I'm 'hoovering', I've had a few near misses! Hope his fin heals soon - I daresay he'll be none the worse for it and he's got a good 'mum' to look after him
It doesnt stress them out to much, ive done it to around a week hatched fry at college (nothing you could do to stop it) and they were all fine, although most of them did die later on due to a parasite break out
