I have a 30 gallon tank and i have a 20-40 gallon pump/filter and some of my fish are getting stuck to the tube on the filter and dieing. i have lost 2 yellow zebra fish and a black moor goldfish... why is this happening and what can i do to fix it?
They are small fish, no more than an inch or so in length... i havent seen them dead other than when they are stuck to the fitler tube... it have the guard on the end but it still seems to be causeing the fish to get stuck. i have about 30 fish in the tank and none of them appear to be sick or anything... but i will make a trip to the pet store and see what i can get to help.
 
Test your water parameters ASAP--ammonia poisoning can make fish lethargic and they can end up getting sucked against the filter. It very rarely happens to healthy fish.
