Pair of False Percs have adopted my overflow

[grif]

How do I get these two to leave the overflow? They stay w/in about an inch of the thing all the time. I had to 'fence' it because they kept getting sucked in and riding the wave all the way out and into my sump.

I'd rather not have to get an anenome because of how short their lifespan is in captivity. So, how do I 'evict' them from where they are so I can maybe get a glimpse of them occasionally?

Ideas?

My clowns like swimming in the water current around my powerheads so perhaps that's what yours are trying to achieve by hanging out near the overflow.

Do you have a good current flowing through your tank? If not, add a powerhead for circulation and see what they do.

I'll be curious to see if they relocate.

Kudos

3 powerheads in a 75 gal. Should be enough you'd think?
