As for escape artists
Escape proofing
polypterids are escape artists theres no denying it ,
but we can stop them. With a little effort you can foil
their plans for a midnight hike and believe me
preventing it is easier then fixing them after.
Glass tops have a heavy vinly strip that can be cut
to exactly A) the intake and output area of your
filter, or if using a canister filter drill holes
for the intake and return. For cutting vinyl use a utility
knife remember make the opening no bigger than
needed.on full canopy top its the same thing except you'll
need a jigsaw or scrollsaw to cut the openings.
As for the opening part of the lid or top make sure
it fits well and add weight to it Remember make openings
no bigger than needed.
If you should have an escapee and you find it within a few hours
return it to the tank and move it gently forward and backwards.
Many that look like lost causes will revive in a few minutes to an hour.
They may not act normal for a day or two but thats normal.
Observe it for the next several days for any sign of infections.
