Wehenever it comes time to gravel vac, the blasted 10in gibbiceps turns into a peice of driftwood. I have to literally physically move him out of the way to gravel vac under him. Usually then he moves... to the next place I have to vac. Anyone else have an obstinate fish who will not get ou tof the way? At least I have no fear of sucking him into the python!

My other fish aren't afraid of it, but they will move. The most annoying thing my other fish do when gravel vaccing is swim up and start biting my fingers because they figure my hands in the tank must mean feeding time. At least they are all still small... 7 clown loaches, an oscar and 2 acaras won't be funny anymore nibbling on my fingers a few months from now :p
