I had a big clean of my filters today. I have a huge pond filter piggybacked onto an ehiem. I haven't cleaned this one our for a while as it is a 2 person job. I opened it and go a huge fright at something moving, it was a whiptail about 2 inches long. For the life of me I can't see how on earth it go in there. My intakes all have covers on them. I can't believe it was living in there. At that size it would have to be a good 4-6 months old wouldn't it?

well gosh oh mighty I thought it was a common but after having a look it is a long nose young one. Must have a breeding pair in there and I didn't know it. Lucky it survived all those big discus.
