Normally I have 5 neons in my 10g tank. Yesterday one disappeared & I couldn't find him for hours.

I finally did - down in front, trapped under a river rock that had somehow shifted.

He was upside down & looking right at me, & I thought he was dead - poor baby. But as soon as I reached in with the net & moved the rock, off he swam! YEA!!!

I then went all around the tank & settled every single river rock that was in a precarious situation, just to be sure it never happens again.

I counted fish again this morning during feeding & I've still got 5 neons!

Just thought I'd let people know that sometimes there can be dangers in a tank.

I used to have a problem with my danios wedging into places. Unfortunately, I lost 3 of them before I managed to danio-proof the tank. Haven't lost one since though!

i have found my dwarf gourami wedged into places a couple of times and since thenhave moved the tank around so that its no longer possible.
