Bah!

[reefkeeps]

I was putting a frag on one of the overflows when my foxface nipped at it, unfortunantly he nipped at the superglue. He now has effectively superglued his mouth shut and I can't catch him! Anyone else had this happen!

 

[mikeatjac]

To me but not a fish.

 

[PelagicMagic]

I am so sorry to hear that, what were the chances of that happening? What are you going to do?

 

[Ikaria]

Holy crap! It's not funny, but I can't stop laughing. Sorry to hear it. Maybe he will rub it off against the rockwork?

 

[reefkeeps]

The fish is retarded, I don't know what to do, if I catch him I'll do surgery...

 

[GoldStripe]

Maybe it'll wear off like it does on humans? I imagine if he can't eat for long enough he'll slow down enough to catch....maybe

 

[reelfreak]

I admit, I laughed when I read it....But wow, I feel sorry for him!! Good luck w/ surgery if you get him.

 

[reefkeeps]

Sorry for the bad image, as you can see he has a lot of it on him.

 

[cwegescheide]

Oh I've heard of that happening a few times in the past to other reefers on here. Good luck catching him. Be careful trying to remove it. I know its awefully tough removing that stuff from my fingers, but fish lips?? Maybe thier slimy coat might make it fall off??

I wish I could do that to my wife LOL

I have read other threads about it here. It seems the glue will fall off with no human help. I think it takes about 3 or 4 days though. If you can get the search to work, I think it happened to a clownfish not to long ago.

 

[patharm]

I agree with Mecold. I belive the skin of the fish will expel the glue in due time. Also a healthy fish can go for weeks with out food. I believe you will be alright. But that picture is too funny.

[reefkeeps]

Yeah, he is foaming at the mouth...The poor fish just kind of pushed food around the tank, he is really trying!

 

[Ikaria]

Ah, well! At least you won't have to worry about being bit.

 

[reefkeeps]

Nice! The day is not all bad, I caught the lobster!

 

[Edge]

That's the first time I've seen that. I'm sure it'll fall off on it's own in a few days. Trying to catch him may only cause more stress on him than is necessary.

[krismist]

I can't stop laughing. That made my day. Hope you can catch him.

 

[mecold]

Well now it's time to put my money where my mouth is. I was glueing some frags, and this happened.

I felt a nibble on my hand, but thought it was my female clown.

 

[sea devil]

Ya think maybe it has something to do with yellow fish?

 

[reefkeeps]

Mine got it off and is feeding again!
