so i moved, i moved in with Brian (shaggy52282) and when i moved i took my fish and the tank and totally scrapped my tank, so Odie lives in his sump at the moment. well she jumped, but she didn't jump where you would expect, shes still alive but i have no idea who to get her out of her current predicament, as shes living in the baffles and wont come out. :lol:

so i need ideas of how to get her out with out the deconstruction of Brian's sump.

1) Did you try to net him? Even if you cant catch him, he may be afraid and swim out.
2) Have you tried putting a powerhead pointing down to flush him out?
3) Did you try to bait him with food?

These would be my best guesses as to how to get him out.

 

[wolfe4372]

no we havent tried anything, we were trying to gather ideas before we tried anything.

Unless Odie is a problem to touch, reach in there and gently grasp him. If there's no room for your hand take as much handle off a net as you need to slide down beside him.

Good luck to yu and Odie.

btw.....what is Odie?

odie is a gold stripe maroon clown. i think i have had her for about a year and a half now.

I suppose I have a "stick" that we could try to chase here up and out with. Get the stick under/near her...and "guide" her toward the top with it.

 

[Loverotties]

Yep that would work!

 

[wolfe4372]

hmm let me go try the stick

 

[wolfe4372]

that was retardedly easy. shes free and back in the part of the sump she should be in. :doh:

 

[Loverotties]

Glad it went easy for you!

I was going to say, I had a fish one time refuse to leave my overflow. Similar situation, couldn't get down there to it without hurting myself or the fish. I ended up slowly pouring out all of the water. Once the water level got so low, the fish finally swam away. It's a good method of persuasion when you are all out of options.
