I am worried that my fish are going to get stuck between my internal filter and the glass. Is this possible? Should I worrie about it? Is there anything I should do?
Thanks

It's possible, just as it is possible for a $45 discus to wedge itself between a heater and the tank to commit suicide. Not that the stupid water breather would waste itself like that... Sorry, I was venting!

If it's possible, it may happen but there is a greater likelihood that they will commit suicide in a much more inventive way -
o running headfirst into the glass,
o trying to befriend the bigger fish,
o trying to find out what it's like on the other side of the surface...

Don't worry about it, you can't hold onto their little fins forever.

Many things are possible in a fish tank and most are not worth worring about. It has never happened to me in 35+ years of having fish tanks.

Really, they don't commit suicide. Usually a fish that is going to die anyways will go ahead and try to hide. It then will look like they died because of being stuck. There is no need to worry bout stuff like that.
