I thought this was rather a novel idea.


Tank Bully harassing new fish?


A plastic spaghetti strainer (found at your local discount store) can be used to contain a tank bully within the aquarium for several hours until the new arrival adjusts to its surroundings. Just float the perforated plastic basket in the aquarium. Net the tank bully and place in the floating basket for approximately four hours while the new arrival adjusts to your aquarium. Never place the new arrival in this basket; the new specimen must get familiar with your aquarium. By placing the tank bully in a perforated basket, you'll reduce the stress on your newest tank mate.

That is a cool idea. Thankfully I never have any problems with bullying. Except for maybe one of my dwarf gourmis. However, I have made very good friends with a kid my age at the LFS and he said he can take it if I like.
