When you posted this before, I stated I was going to try it in in my own tank. You stated that you could not get the fish to go up the tube. I thought maybe because it was lack of flow, so I was going to force flow through mine and let you know how it turns out. However I ended up just getting two tanks and bridged them.

So I have a forced flow anyways.

I was wondering, what if you tired to make a flow go through your bridge, maybe this would encourage the fish to go through it? Also you might need to have some decor in the tank that goes as high as the tube ends to encourage protection so they feel comfortable swiming that high?

Let me know if you try the flow thing out and if it works for you. A quick way to make flow, would be to put a hose on the end of your filter's intake and place it inside the tube so it pulls water from there, this would force some flow into the tube.
