["Simone Vicini" <svicini@lcnet.it>]

I went to feed them and couldn't find them so I thought they could have
jumped out, I removed the rocks, the woods, then I searched..... nothing.

You know where they were?

Well I took them out with the woods... they are so scared in my tank that
they don't even save themselve, I'm so stupid, I will keep them in the tank
for two days without feeding or distubing, hope they recover well!!!!!!

Ignorance is one of the worst enemy!!!

Bye and tanks
