    i'm not really sure how Prudence managed to do it but she is now stuck in my CPR overflow box. i have no idea how i'm gonna get her out of there, i can't just net her out of this box. :confused:

    This just happened to me with my clown 2 weekends ago. Take the black box off on the front to get him out.

    well, nevermind. 2 seconds after i posted this thread i put a net in there (it's a really narrow space with not much room to move) and Prudence practically swam into it. she is a good girl :D

    Do you have the fish screen on the intake? If not, that's how it happened, and it could happen again. Use a piece of plastic hardware cloth to make one if you don't have one.
