Do the fish get sucked in??

No, it's not that powerful, it will hardly suck the debris but your fish will be safe.

Mine don't but I try not to aim it at them. I usually keep it in the gravel.

Read my review. YES your fish can and might jump out. We lost two this way, and one got stuck in the filter, all within a week. If you have not purchased this bowl already, PLEASE for the fish's sake buy something else.

No. If you don't eat them with a meal you'll likely burp up some fish taste once or twice.

yes but you have to be very careful as you can overheat the fish pretty quickly with this unit.

They're pretty small. I have a 60 gallon tank with a pretty strong filer pump, after I put them in the tank I never saw them again. Dont know if they were eaten or got sucked into the filter. If your goldfish isn't too big you would probably be OK.

Yes it does, but without the cups some fishes might be killed due to the suction... Would you like some pics of the system?

I have one too...but I put mine inside the tank, not in the filter compartment. The fish like to swim around it once in a while. I felt more comfortable having it where I could see if the light was on.

Yes. Not only do they float, but they swim as well. It's a really neat toy. (By the way, I'm an Indiana grandmother too!)

Yes they are when exposed to moisture. will dissolve in a fishes mouth after a few dayts.

Yes!! they are aggressive fish and will eat them. The ramshorn sails don't get big and in our tank our sword tails like picking on them but they don't harm them.

No. The rod looks like it has a reel but it is just solid plastic. On the end of the string is a very strong magnet and the fish are magnetic so it picks them up really great. Grandkids love it. Fish are really big so it is easy for them to catch and get the fish.

Some sink and some float. Of you want them to sink just pinch it in your hand and submerge it into your tank.

No, but you do need to suck. The inner spill proof piece can be removed, which will allow liquid to flow faster. My 1& 3 year old grand kids both use these every day. Good product!

no, you do not have to use your mouth. it has a black plastic piece on it that you squeeze several times to startthe suction. I love it, I don't have to get fish poop in my mouth any more.

Mostly. Very, very small runts may get through the openings. I had cichlid fry that got their egg sacs stuck in the openings and they are a fair bit larger than most guppy fry.

We have a small tank with a betta, and the fish hangs out at the filter. Its tail moves toward the filter from the suction but it never gets stuck. So it's a pretty weak suction. The suction opening is actually facing the tank wall so that helps too.

One the end of the intake air hose, you can screw the adjustment down to limit the flow. You can also point the out take up, down, left or right, in which I did. My fish love the higher flow and bubbles. My giant danios will swim up and surf the bubbles, and enjoy it very much. What I recommend though, is to replace the little hose with a little longer piece, and one that's not kinked.
