i use to have two fiddler crabs and when i was cleaning out the filter, i felt a sharp pinch and was surprised to see one of my crabs in there...hhaa
 
convicts, my bro had a tank with some breeders in there and large gravel. well i took the tank over and changed it to mbuna, well got rid of the big gravel and when i went to clean out all the gunk under the under gravel filter that wasn't even in use, about 10 one inch convicts came swimming out amongst a ton of waste. i couldn't believe it.
 
Was round one of my cousins once when his wife was cleaning the sump from their rift valley community tank, think she found 5 of the Cichlids hiding down there! There's now a mesh over the pipe.
 
Try cleaning a AC110 to a 10-12 RES and see what you find. Nassssssssty. I have found 6 Molly fry in an AC110 a few years ago before I gave them away.
 
On three occasions I have found one of my 3-4" modestas in the back of my hob filters. Now when they are missing, I look there first.
 
lol i found a juvie yellow lab in my fluval fx5. dont know how that little guy made it, but hes alive and well in the 180 gallon with the rest of the africans
