so the filter did not have the little gate thing on it... and up went sugar!!! i got her out quickly.... but she's definatyly a little beat up.... i bought melafix and added it to the tank.... is there anything i can do?

Just use the Melafix for now and keep an eye out for fungus or anyother kind of distress Sounds like you took care of the problem fast

lol well i remember reading from another post this is what i was suposed to do first... so i ran out the petstore and got some! she looks a little orange though...definatly got beat up...
