Well, moving day was pretty uneventful really, thankfully, I didn't even get wet, lol. It couldn't have gone any better and it was great to see
Fishman Dave
and his wife again.
My 360 looks positively empty now, but I'll soon sort that out, lol.

Lol, I just quickly surfed through the last couple days worth of new posts here on MFK, randomly peaking at a few that caught my eye; my standard completely disorganized modus operandi on here. The following two threads caught my eye in succession and I had a bit of a chuckle.
First, MTS detailing the capture of a few fish a few inches long, in a 100-gallon-ish mostly-empty aquarium:
And immediately following that, good ol' Esox in this thread, describing a similar operation carried out in a 350+gallon tank full of foot-long monsters:
Just sayin'...

The best thing I can think of to say is that I'm honestly not sure what to make of that. Nor am I sure with what to respond with aside from this.
Hmmm....?

Lol, yeah, I'm well aware of M MultipleTankSyndrome fish catching nightmare. I didn't say a word, i didn't need to, simply because I knew as soon as you spotted it....you would!!

Just call me the fish whisperer!
Unspoken communication spanning the globe...I hate being predictable!
Re-catching those fish to put them back in their original 473 liter is going to be way easier than catching them to take them out of it was, since by the time I have to do that, I'll have access to a proper Python to get the job done with.
The tank will be drained to the point where the fish almost can't swim in the water, which will then allow me to scoop them up and transport them very quickly - hopefully in less than 5 hours, lol!
And with any luck, it will reduce stress on the fish too.

Some beautiful fish now acclimatised and getting accustomed to their new home. Just hoping five of them is enough to confuse the black shark for now till I can get my seven lemon fins big enough to join them and really take the mic out of him.
This is the latest picture of my "new" 360, minus the lemonfin, tinfoil and three cigars which are now settling in nicely at their new home.
I've added more rocks and there are some more to go in yet too, also a huge piece of wood, which took less than 24hrs to waterlog and sink! The water looks a bit "tinted", as is the usual case when adding new wood. This should clear perfectly over the next couple of months.
My other new additions for the 360 are still in quarantine, and will be for a month or so before I feel comfortable about adding them. As mentioned earlier, there are six Borneo red fin silver sharks (Cyclocheilichthys janthochir) and eight red tailed barbs (discherodontus ashmeadi).
I absolutely cannot wait to see what this tank looks like when it's all settled down.
