A little bit of this and a little bit of that. A group that shares life and knowledge.

I've been here for years and I still don't know what this thread is. But I make sure to drop in now and again. It is a pretty easy place to feel welcome.

In short, it is a build thread that we also talk about everything else. The OP has not been active due to some RL stuff, so we keep it alive and await for her return, as she is one of the most awesome and helpful people this site has ever seen.

I have fished out a firefish.

Turned off pumps, used a hose and started a siphon to a bucket. Firefish is still kicking.

I was halfway done doing this when i discovered him hiding in the salinity checker I keep stashed in the fuge. guess he decided to give me a break after disappearing, reappearing in the fuge, and evading my every rescue effort til now. he's back with his shrimp buddy now! thanks so much for the advice

Now that is an unconventional fish trap. I may have to steal that as an idea for one for small fish. Put in tank, leave there a bit and feed into it. Maybe be able to catch small ones easier that way.

I got lucky and plugged the holes right before he jumped out. might still work if you plug one hole and orient it so the other hole is flush with the substrate with a treat inside? but i'm pretty sure I just got absurdly lucky and this is impossible to reproduce LOL
