My 1.5 inch yellow lab, Gregory, keeps going behind my 3d background and he won't come out! He did this yesterday and he came out but now he wont. The background isnt siliconed. It stays back against the tank and the sand keeps it in place. There are barely any ways for him to get in, but these are tiny fish, so this is a problem. I think hell come out if I feed them, but how do i keep him from going back again?????
 
Will growing prevent it? Take the backgroind out untill they can't fit behind it anymore
 
Ok now the fish is out, but the background is all wrinkly. I know the water is cloudy I just stirred it all up. Does anyone know how to make this thing sit flat on the back of the tank??

moving the background shouldnt make things cloudy, thats a sign of a problem. You may need to vac your tank or soak the background depending on where the cloudiness is coming from. There are aquarium safe sealants you can use to block off the openings but the names escape me right now. If the fish is hiding back there it probably just likes the isolation and protection, you may need to mix up your tank and add some better hiding places so your fish isnt as enticed to go back there anymore
 
Probably. Id give a good gravel vac before moving things around to minimize that
