Re: netting fish woes

Its amazing how good these guys are at hiding.  I have four females left in
a planted 20 long.  There is a little rock work, a piece of driftwood, and 3
pots in there.  This evening I couldn't find them, I lifted the pots, the
rock, the driftwood and the sponge filter.  I can't believe it but they
evaded me the whole time.  I started jumping to bizarre conclusions like the
"did the pair of orange flash eat them", "did they leap out of the uncovered
tank".  A couple of hours later I was feeding the pair of cacatuoids in that
tank when one of the nannacara darted out to grab a blood worm!  They are
truly talented at the art of evasion! :)
