Fish stuck in back

[Mort82]

of my 24 g nano!!

Both of my clowns! ***?!?!

So I know I need some sort of makeshift top to keep them from doing it again.

My problem is, how do I get them out? Net doesn't fit without tearing it...

I'm thinking to wait until tonight when they are sleeping, but what to scoop them out with, it's so tiny back there! This is pretty unique to me. Any advice will help me.

i would just grab them if you dont have a net that small. also look into putting garden netting over the over flow from Lowes. they make a black very ridged netting that will work perfect for this. the only draw back is that it comes in like 50 yard rolls but it is relatively cheep at about 11$ for the roll. the wholes are small about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. i wouldnt go with the bigger holed ones/

Had an eel do the same.. took almost an hour to catch him and get him out as he would just run back and forth from chamber to chamber and I could barely get my hands in there

Any luck? Where are (were) they trapped? In an overflow? I say barehand them as well

Yeah, I barehanded them while they were sleepin last night. Thanks for the advice, I didn't even think to grab them with my hand. Sometimes you gotta think outside the box.

I really thought I lost them for a minute. Thought they jumped out and and vanished!


Yes, they were trapped in part of the back chamber in my nano cube, where I keep bits of the filtration system.

Thanks for the help!
