I was doing a water change this morning, which I do siphoning out buckets of water using a piece of hose and disposing of the waste down the toilet pan, the tank is upstairs.
Today I started like normal and the flow got quite weak then picked up again, I blew down the pipe and started it again. Went to throw the waste down the pan to see I'd forgotten to raise the lid, so put the first lot into the bath, to see my favourite and the runt of my puffers, swimming about in the bath, and I hadn't thrown the approximate 10 gallons in gently either, after a quick panic I put the plug in and managed to get her to swim into a jug I use for topping up and then put her back in her tank. She doesn't appear happy and has hidden ever since, but I 'think' I got away with it.
I'll hopefully be laughing in a few days when she's OK, but fussing at them moment.
