Thanks for the replies and advice - much appreciated! :good:

Greetings all - long time no talk! :) Seeking a bit of personal experience / advice from anyone who has been through a tank re-arranging, etc. Sometime over the next month we're planning on doing some large tank maintenance (moving some of the larger wood pieces, placing some new plants...

Thanks guys - bought an extra (larger) net this evening and will attempt some catchin' this weekend. I'll let ya know how it goes!

As the title says - anyone have any tried and true methods of snagging these quick little buggers? :) Thanks in advance!

Thanks much, Pratty! :)

Greetings once again! One more quick update - as of last night Jinxy (the fan-tailed goldfish) found a new home back in her original tank in one of my kids' bedroom. We had bought some new plants for the main tank and Jinxy decided to feast a little bit and left a bit of a mess in the morning...

Absolutely! :lol: On an interesting side note, Buttercup (our tire track eel) is once again out and about swimming around the tank. When we inherited the pacu she started staying in her hidey-hole a lot more and now over the last few days she's been exploring again. Perhaps the pacu...

Thank you very much! I'm not sure why anyone would ask for some input and then argue it all back - that seems pretty silly - but I appreciate all the input and info here. With all of the Forum members who have joined here, there aren't very many situations someone here hasn't dealt with before...

Thanks for the advice and after hearing from many on this Forum as well as just general research I think the pacu Thanksgiving re-home is going to be moved up quite a bit. :) Even now while he's still small that boy can sure carve a swath of destruction from one end of the tank to the other -...

Thanks! I was a little hesitant in posting but everyone has been very pleasant so your compliment is much appreciated! :)

Thanks for the heads-up - we'll definitely keep a close watch on them once they start growing more. So far no worries but they're still babies :) so I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. so far they're doing well, each has found a favourite hidey-hole on either end of the tank and in the...

I know it's more than a bit mixed but we've had very good luck with our setups for quite awhile now. I know Jinxy (the goldfish) is sorely out of place but she is the sentimental favourite of my wife and kids (she's survived from previous tanks) so I'm stuck with her until she moves on. The...

We've had our eclectic little tank going for over a year now - hope you enjoy! Part 1: Part 2:
