I recently bought a new fish tank and a long with it was a new filter and a chinese fighting fish... however, 3 days later the fish tail got inhaled by the filter and it died instantly. now i have 2 little goldfish and i dont want the mistake to happen again. So i put a stocking over the filter part where it inhales water but i dont like the way it looks. Does anyone have any ideas?
 
I had neon tetras in my tank once and the filter intake was bigger than them. I went away for 2 days and I found it stuck in the filter (it got stuck to the side, my filters bottom piece has indents) It died first. I think yours did too.
