Rough few Hours for Firefish

First of all I got a Smoking deal on 3 Firefish Gobies 3 for $30.

Anyway I dropped them into the tank and I soon reliezed that the damsels I had in to tank had to go. I kindda knew that but I was hoping not right away. So I am scooping out these Damsel (eaiser said than done) and as I'm sealing the bag I notice one of the firefish were gone. I seached high and low and finnally found him in the overflow needless to say getting a fish out of a overflow box isn't easy. My tank is also a corner tank so accessability is very limited.

Has this ever happened to you?

 

Firefish are very skiddish and will jump very easily. Once they get acquinted with their new tank they should stop jumping.

 

Thanks for your advice, I knew they were jumpers but I was worried I would have to pull them out every week. The seem to have settled in and I hope it Dosn't happen again. It is a pain in the neck to get fish out of a overflow as I now know.

 

I Know what you mean mine got sucked up into the overflow and jumped out of it and I found it dead on the floor. :'(........ John
