    Well after some thought, I have plans on redoing my scape.

    I kinda want to do a hill looking thing. That's going up. ( kinda like for coral placement)

    The only thing that's keeping me from doing anything is 24 fish I'm this tank :S

    I'm afraid I might harm a fish ( like my mandarin)
    Or stress my copperband into not eating.

    So.. Question is, could doing a major scaping cause my copperband to stop eating?

    If there is a big chance I won't move a thing..
    I just think that my scape doesn't look natural...

    I've re done mine like 3 times but without the copperband.. Right now he is eating like a champ.. I'm afraid if I move things around he might stop eating.
    I wonder If I can do this a few rocks at a time over a week so they won't get to stressed..

    Think so?
    I Guess I can try lol I'm leaving for college on Saturday so hopefully I'll be done by then.
    My mom is taking care of it. Ofcourse I'll be coming once a week to check on things.

    That's a lot of fish to have even in a big tank. lol.

    If you are so worried about it, just temporarily move them to another tank or Rubbermaid container(a few bigger ones) with an air pump & filter.

    8 of them are chromis lol
    I only have 5 big fish
    And taking the fish out the tank kind of defeats the purpose of not stressing them.
