    Help! I had an opportunity to remove a clone RBTA last night that was on a move. I'm going to be passing him along to another hobbyist hopefully soon. What's the best way to keep them healthy in a tank but not free to roam???

    Please advice ASAP, I currently have home floating in a Tupperware but he doesn't look so happy.

    oufff no clue, perhaps place it in a bowl covered with a transparent plastic film (stuff used for food) this will kill flow but should allow light to go through best temporary solution i can think of :s or perhaps directly in a transparent plastic bag

    a plastic basket of some sort, with some rubble. there are a few options, strawberry basket, small hydro plant basket, etc. this would keep it contained, but allow good flow and such.
