Ann or Rachel, whoever is handling this now, how do you recommend moving the rfas from the old tank? They seem to like the glass and I don't want to hurt them.

Edit. I've got a 90 degree elbow in the hood they climb in but I'd there a better slash easier way?

I'm not either of them, but I use ice! I've used regular ice on the glass opposite them, or if you can't because they're on the bottom or on a rock, freeze a cube of RODI and put it beside them to tick them off enough to let go. (This is how I do it, I'm sure they have a better method lol)

STORY TIME!

Bill Hader Popcorn GIF by Saturday Night Live


I'm lucky enough to work from home (and have for 10 years in March!), but I'm also in client calls most of the day every day, so it has its trade-offs. Calls are all via zoom, and I don't blur my background. I have three tanks behind me: my 29-gallon chaos tank, my small 4.8-gallon pico tank, and my hospital tank which is barely visible but can be seen. Most folks never mention a thing, which is fine.

But today, towards the end of a particularly good call the guy is like, "So if you don't mind me asking ... are those SW tanks behind you?" To which we had a wonderful conversation re: tanks, livestock, and the hobby. Turns out, he's looking to get back into the hobby after about a decade away (moving, kids, life) and doesn't know where to start. Of course, I point him to the forums, but I also happened to be wearing my LRO t-shirt I won in the last sale, so HI PUT ME ON PAYROLL ( :face-with-tears-of-joy: ), I was like, "Once you join, you have to follow LRO, and join in their sales to stock your tank when you're ready."

Fun fact, it also reminded me of @ktfloyd01 because he had a blue and red macaw screaming at us the whole time which I found hilarious. He kept apologizing, but it was great.

It’s Ann here! If they are currently on the glass you can take a credit card and very gently lift up a part of its foot, slide the card against the glass and slowly wiggle it under the foot. Once you get a small piece to lift up you can slide your finger under and very slowly peel it off the glass. For any that are on the rock, just chisel around it and break up the rock.
