    Clownfish glued her MOUTH SHUT!!!!!!!! But I saved her. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I was glueing a frag of Acans down and as soon as I put it in the water, my female clown nailed the frag and ended up with a mouth that was glued shut. I was like WTF, so I luckily netted her out held her in my hand and chipped the chunk of glue off of her mouth. Put her back in and she's eating like nothing ever happened. WOW, was that crazy.. Just wanted to share my near major problem..

    Glad she's ok, I never heard of that happening, although it doesn't surprise me.

    I've been very worried about my wrasse before, as he picks at the glue every time I glue something down. My friends say he's special.

    But, good thing you caught her out and got the glue off. It might have came off over time anyway, but still.
