    So yesterday, my peppermint shrimp got himself sucked up in the overflow. He made it down through the skiller unscathed. I saw him in the fuge so I pulled him out. I then figured, I dont want this to happen again, so I made a removable fiberglass screen flap to prevent anything from getting into the overflow. Since then, he has taken two more rides down the overflow, through the skimmer. He would have had to make an effort to get in through the flap. The only thing I can think of that would cause him to do this is his enjoyment of riding the swirling vortex of terror (my downdraft skimmer).

    I just thought it was funny as hell so I thought I would share.
