When I got home last night I noticed there were only 3 Rasboras in my tank, after searching the tank and the surrounding area for a body I was about to give the cat a stern 'talking to'... luckily for my cat as an afterthought I checked the surface skimmer and found the Rasbora, just about alive, and two dead Neon Tetras. Fortunately the Rasbora has fully recovered, I don't really know how long it was in there for though.
I can only assume this happened because the Eheim was too low in the water or the moveable inlet had got stuck down or something, I was more concerned about getting the fish out so I didn't notice how it was positioned in the water, it was turned up to full power though for a bit more flow.
The moral of this boring story...... Check your Eheim surface skimmer now and again, carelessness costs lives.
