Caryl Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 OK. We came home from holiday to see someone had knocked the plug out of the socket - the one running the Eheim wet/dry filter on the African tank. Not too terrible for the tank as it also has a Jebo 819 at the other end (and only about 12 fish all about 10cm or so, in the 4 x 2 x 2). Then forgot about it until a couple of days ago so Grant pulled it to bits - pheww! What a stink. He rinsed it all out then put it back on the tank. Next day I noticed the fish not looking good so we figured it was the filter. Should have boiled the media methinks. So, pulled it apart to get the media out and in the top tray found 2 baby electric yellows swimming about. Looked in the next tray and found another baby! Did a 50% water change and the media has now been boiled and ready to set the filter back up again. If we had not had to pull it apart a second time we would not have found the fry!
