Has anyone else been finding bees in any of their tanks?
I don't have my windows(basement suite) open but I had my door open upstairs.
I found a total of 5 in 2 of my tanks.
One of my fish ate 1 & had a stinger stuck in his lip.
I tried to get it out, & I thought I was successful but it looked stressed so I put him/her back in.
Today his/her lip is swollen & he/her doesn't look very good.
The color is faded & the fins looked a bit frayed.
He still has zip in him/her but I'm guessing the venom is affecting him/her.
It looks like the stinger is still in the lip.
Should I try to remove it again?
It looks quite stressed & I don't want to stress it out any more.
It's a small 1"-1.5" fish so it's hard to see if I get it out in the net.
Anyone ever deal with something like this before?
