[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8044992, member: 19675"] No, I got ya. I’ve done my fair share of cleaning- and moving!- aquariums. The water is heavy, the tanks can be awkward to move. Sometimes, the fish can be less than helpful. When we were moving the office aquarium from its original location to a different office, we had to break that thing down almost completely. Most of the fish went by styrofoam or Igloo Cooler. But two were very difficult. We had a pair of Banjo catfish. They’re about 4-5” long, very flat, with big heads and skinny bodies. (They look somewhat like banjos from the top down, hence the name.) [ATTACH type="full"]124085[/ATTACH] The thing is, they spend most of their time buried in the gravel. So there I am with an almost empty tank, just gravel and the last few inches of water, and I haven‘t found the banjos yet! I couldn’t just stick my net down into the gravel for fear of injuring the fish. I had to use one hand to sift gravel and the other to man the net. It took forever. I did learn from that experience, though- banjo cats grunt! [/QUOTE]
