I was going to post this a week ago but thought no one would believe me and now it’s happened again and I took a picture. Both times it’s been a runny nose tetra, I don’t know why or how they’re getting in there so I’ve now taken the co2 checker out but wth how is this happening? Anyone experienced anything similar?

All water parameters good?
Dayum poor fish might I ask what the peice of glass is that and whats its use
Fish can be dumb
I think he’s a dummy nose tetra
Never happened to me, but I imagine adding a little mesh over the opening fixes this easily.
Try some mesh to block access for the fish, it’s not supposed to be in there 😅
Try putting some filter floss to block it. Should be enough to block, but still allow gas exchange and be removable with tweezers or a needle
Do you have more air in it normally or is that pretty typical? If you have the air all the way to the bottom of the instrument they have a much greater distance to jump into it.. I never had an issue with jumpy species and my checker
Buy a cheap plastic loofa from the store and cut it up to use the mesh across the opening and tie fishing line to hold it in place.
I put a little tulle over mine with a rubber band. I have another one that is just a ball that I don’t think anybody would want to go in, but it’s way less sensitive.
Strange. Never happened in all my years of fish keeping
use a syringe or pipette of some sort to inject more air into it. The indicator should have air all the way down to the base, you have the water level too high
do you have other fish that would be chasing him around in there? 😅 only reason i could think it happened twice.
unless hes pulling a nemo trying to escape creatively
Fish can NOT swim up in this one…

There should be more air and less water in the drop checker.
Even with pictures it’s giving me “things that didn’t happen for $200 Alex” 😂🤤😂 my eyes can’t believe it
What is this device
Just stop it sing the checker and measure your C02 by testing your ph.
