Hilarious story from the LFS

Next time you move a placid giant like a Pacu or GG then you can calm them right down by cupping their eyes like blinkers. Either use your hands or a small wet rag just as they come out of the water. Next time try it as you will be amazed at the difference.

I got splashed by a dead fish once. Does that count?

LOL, that's happened to me twice, once when I had to move my foot long pacu, and then with my 20'' ck. I had water from the ceiling, to the other side of the room, and everywhere in between, in my bedroom no less. Now, it happens every night when I feed my o's.

Also pull them out of the water in one fast motion.

I just experienced that last night at home moving my 14" Weeksi to another tank. LOL I would rather be splashed knowing I have a monster than stay dry with a with a little wimpy fish.

big fish move big water lol

i had to do that with pacus...woo!

i had experienced that before, with moving jags and oscars.

a little bit off topic, but its funny. i was working at my lfs, and i was cleaning out the bottom tank and filter on the floor, with the gravel vaccume and a bucket, the bucket was full, and i was ready to go and tip it out when my supervisor told me to clean the filter on the top tank strait away, so i got the step ladder and got the filter out, and as i was stepping down i stepped right into the filthy dirty (brownish)water and my leg and shoes were soaked, everybody just craked up laughing (including me), and to make it worse the manager that was shifted on that day just came up to see me do it, so he was laughing at me 2. and from then on i got called bucket boy for the rest of the day.
but i could have sworn the bucket was next to the stool not behind it!,stupid work mates and there jokes ! lol
