Cucumber Question

[Craig Lambert]

I added a tigertail cuke to my tank yesterday, and am concerned about the potential of him climbing into my overflow. I know these guys are good sandsifters but the very first night in the tank he was right up top where the water spills into the overflow. I have a 75G RR tank with a stockman stand pipe, so I would think that it would be unlikely that he would actually find his way to the drain hole in the standpipe, but who knows. I'm thinking of attaching egg crate around the top of the overflow box, but I'm not sure it would serve any purpose since these things can squeeze through a very small hole. What do you guys do to protect against a disaster?:bouncebox

ive not had one,,,,but ill throw out an idea. cut a PVC pipe in half, that way if he climbs up, he will be curved around to the directin he came. i dont know if it will work, but it works with ant proof feed dishes.
