Paul Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I was cleaning out the Eheim Pro 3 on the discus tank today. If you’re not familiar with this canister there are 4 trays in the stack with the top one having the coarse sponge. I’ve got all the trays in the slop sink to clean the pads so as I clean them the trays go back in the canister. I get to the top tray pull out the coarse sponge and clean it before I put it back into the tray I rinse the gunk out of it and what’s flapping around in the bottom of the sink a pair of Sterbai Cory fry. They must of got sucked in when I took the intake sponge off to clean it early last week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Pearl Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Nice photo @Paul. I found two of the same when I moved a rock a few weeks ago. My tank isn't perfect (who's is) and it was very interesting to see breading happening without trying in an 'imperfect world'. I chock it up to a Jurassic Moment, "Nature will find a way..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwise Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Very cool, nice save. In my marine days, I ended up accidentally breeding brine shrimp in my canister filters. I don't think I fully appreciated it at the time. I do now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
