So I've got a Marineland powerhead hanging on the side of my tank and I had to turn it off until I can get a prefilter for it because my new otos were getting stuck to it.

This morning I come down to look and I see a stripped tail wagging back and forth INSIDE the intake screen of the powerhead....

Crazy Yo yo swam into the output and got himself inside the powerhead...

I went to take it apart to get him out, and when I dumped him back into the tank, an Oto came out w/ him.....

Crazy fish....

On a sadder note, my new YoYo does not seem to be doing well. He just lays on his side not moving. Once in a while he'll swim around like nothing is wrong, looking in the gravel for food, then he'll stop and fall over...

I hope he makes it, not sure what to do to help him though....

if i were u i'd take him out and put him in a QT... it might have a parasite.. i can almost promise it does because my betta was doing the same thing but ended up passing away before i could get the meds.... so start up a cycle of parasite meds.. worse case: the loach wont get better.. i mean its worth a try
