Caution with Nutrafin CO2

[aquatix02]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday one of my Rummy-noses got stuck between the CO2 diffuser unit of this product and the aquarium glass. Luckily, I noticed it in time and freed it. I'm not sure how it got in through the bottom opening but as a precaution, I placed the diffuser unit right on the gravel bed so that the bottom opening is closed.

Could be a freak accident but better safe than sorry, nearly lost one of my rummies!

Happy fishkeeping!

I had a Platy get stuck up behind the diffusor. I just popped it off the suction cups and he swam away, not sure how long he was behind there.

Just guessing, but I would think a perfectly healthy fish should be able to get himself out of there on it's own. A weakened fish, for whatever reason, would be the most susceptible and quite often they seem to stuff themselves into places like that when they die. Weird. Hope your fishes aren't hiding sickness.
