    Default (not so) funny clownfish accident

    I was feeding one of the anemones this morning when Marlin swam out of his cave. I guess he didn't know I was there, and when I pulled the baster out he freaked. He bolted - straight into the side of the tank. He hit it so hard I could hear the thud, more loudly than I would've thought possible. I have to admit that I did giggle at first (silly fish) but stopped when he started tilting sideways. I thought he was going to die right then and there. He recovered his balance after 15 seconds or so. He swam erractically for about an hour. He seems okay now, but I will be keeping a close eye on the knucklehead for a few days!

    My little nemo, when I got him was TINY, maybe an inch, TWO max. Well when I feed I usually like to turn off the pumps (depending on what im feeding). Little nemo decided to go into the returns outlet (since their off he can swim in). Well as Im feeding, I notice he's missing and im flippingout. So I go let me turn on the pump at least, and ZOOM!! Out he goes flying, he was swimming a bit weird for a bit, luckily he's healthy and ok till this day.

    Javi, I just about died laughing about your little guy! I can just picture that in my head... and it cracks me up!

    It sounds like we all need helmets and little padded suits to keep these animals from hurting themselves!

    Nothing is quite as funny as watching your kid run head on full speed into a plate glass window, thinking it to be a wide open door!!!
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    poor marlin! i hope he is okay!

    i had one of the first generations of bengal cats (the ones that were suposed to be destroyed) when we brought him home and took him out of the box he ran right into the glass on our doll cabinate. poor kitty they end up brain damaged but it is funny to laugh at!
