Nate1313 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I have a 15 gallon Fluval flex and my small kuhli loaches keep swimming through the grate that is supposed to stop fish from getting into the filter and then they get stuck so I was wondering if anyone had any idea to stop them from coming through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Try using an intake sponge attached with a rubber band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firedashflame Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Hi, I'm planning to get khuli loaches as well for my 15g fluval flex. I've been researching and am wondering whether the intake sponge worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Add an air stone to the tank and see if that helps. Shrimp will do the same thing when trying to get to oxygenated water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedashflame Posted Sunday at 03:43 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:43 AM Wouldn't a rubber band rot? I think I'm going to get the khuli loaches for my Fluval flex 15. I know it's risky but I'm willing to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firedashflame Posted Tuesday at 12:27 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:27 AM So far, my khuli's (Which I got yesterday) have been doing great. I put mesh and sponge in the intake, seems to be working fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
