Fish living in my overflow

[pdandy]

I have given up on trying to keep him out. I have drained my overflow probably 5 times and gotten him out but he'll go right back in.

have you tried putting mesh on the top of the overflow to prvent fish from falling in? Or are you having difficulties get ing him out of thier? ou will probably need to make a small trap..

He sneaks past in the small space around where my return enters the tank. Ill have to figure something out. It's not hard to get him out, it's just the fact that he goes right back in every time. Lol

Nicaraguensis. I had 6 of them all around 1.5" in my tank. Two mysteriously disappeared (eaten by my lyonsi) this one lives in the overflow and there are three still in the main tank around 2" now.

Hahaha. It's funny, for the first few weeks I had him he wouldn't eat the pellets I was feeding. Then the slower nics started to disappear. Now all that are left are the quicker ones and the lyonsi will now take pellets. Lol.

Oh well, I bought the nics for $1 a piece to use as dithers anyways. No big loss.
