I only care about the health and welfare of the fish, not Rocky's feelings.
The health and welfare of the fish are the of the utmost importance and he has documented in various threads, most of which were merged due to being repetitive, that he has been ferreting about looking for fish that just wanted peace and quiet.
Yes, the fish went AWOL for a few days, but had he researched them before buying properly, he would have known that is how they behave and he would not have dived in, picking rocks up and messing with the scaping trying to find them and stressing them out and potentially causing harm to them through stress, having hands in the aquarium with potential toxins and basic faffing about with their territory.
And now he is wanting a rescape, so again the fish will suffer stress if he catches them, stress when stood in a dark bucket for possibly hours whilst he does his vanity project...and it is a vanity project cos he wants the scaping to look more attractive to him, nicer to look at...he isn't really doing it for the fish, all he is doing is upettting their territory so that they have to relearn that there are no predators around every rock and plant and that they are safe and secure.
As I said, sometimes he has flashes of maturity....but at other times you just want to padlock the aquarium hood to stop him meddling with it.
An aquarium is not there to look pretty to you, it is not a lounge/bedroom ornament....the fish health and welfare comes first and last and if that means a scape that might not be 100% pleasing to the human eye then so be it. We as fishkeepers are fish guardians, we are responsible to give our fish the best that we can...not make a room ornament that is perfectly scaped. As for the rocks maybe causing an issue, no they aren't, if they were an issue that fish would have been dead, but it wasn't, it felt safe it was normal behaviour to snuggle into the tightest of spaces...as he himself even admitted once he had actually researched their behaviour properly. Fish are actually more intelligent that many think they are.
