CLOWNFISH STUCK INSIDE HYDROMETER!!!

[S_OS]

They're called clown's for a reason I suppose!

 

[seitzjh]

That's one crazy fish.

WARNING-hydrometer may host clownfish.

For how angry he looked at being trapped in there I thought he would be saltier than 1.023

I would email fluval send them picture , ask if livestock affect accuracy

Don't raise it with him in there that arm will crush him as it goes up.

It’s out already

U need to ditch that hydrometer and get a refractometer

 

[jabberwock]

Dang, glad he is out.

 

[Dennis Begley]

I would agree about using a different method to check your salt levels. That are not reliable enough. Never have that issue with a refractometer. Isn't that funny. If you wanted to catch him in a container to remove him or any fish from your tank, you'd never convince him to enter it. Put something in the tank that you would never think a fish could bet into and he finds a way.

Angle grinder or hack saw next time

I thought my coworker story about siphoning out his wife's goby during a water change would be the craziest fish story I heard today. He dumped the water with the goby in the bark mulch outside, only to realize it was gone 10 minutes later. He found it outside (35F degrees) and it seems fine now.

Symbiotic relationship: Clownfish and Hydrometer

Did the anemone feel rejected?

 

[sscg]

poor little guy, so glad he's fine now. Get a refractometer, hydrometers are no very accurate

I have a fish that sleeps in mine every night lol. He gets himself in there and gets himself out. I was worried when I first saw it happen...but every night he kept going back in. At least he’s cozy!

get a hacksaw and cut a piece off the top.
you should not leave hydrometers in the water anyway

Post a pic please.

 

[SciGuy2]

Provided that the fish is a male -- may I suggest a name of Claus. Short for Claustrophobia.

Well, from the first pic, it looks like he has an SG of 1.023 - a bit low, but he should be OK

;Hilarious;Hilarious

Glad you got him out
