MickS77 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Sharing this tip in case you plan on keeping White Clouds in a tank with a mattenfilter. I kept finding them behind the filter foam and discovered they were swimming down the lift tubes. I think it's their natural behavior to swim against the current. I folded up a small piece of 1/8 inch clear plastic mesh netting and zip-tied it around the opening. Could be a life saver too if you run an airstone in your tube as it might trap the fish. Problem solved 👍 Edited July 24, 2020 by MickS77 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Struggle Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 That’s a great idea, thank you for sharing. I’ve ran into this problem several times and tried using a sponge to no avail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shkote Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 This is good to know, as I just started converting my tanks to corner matten filters. I'll be bringing my white clouds in from the pond in a couple months, and never even thought about them swimming into the lifters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
