Most for about 25 minutes as long as they're moist.

now that the panics over I have time to explain ..... my wife wanted me to remove a large sunken ship from her tank ..... this I did but making sure no fish ware within it .... I took ship outside to dry off ... then about 15/ 20 minutes later the wife was saying she couldn't see or find her large Plec "Freddy" it had vanished!!! this was when we realized what had happened poor Freddy was still in the ship
I couldn't get to him as he had got into a corner so I put the ship back into water amaRoVic

well the plec survived over night, hes now happily devouring a bit of cucumber.
Even though i checked the ship I'll never know how on earth he was able to hide so well ........ but I've had my orders from the wife ...... She said "CHECK HARDER NEXT TIME" ... yes my dear

Lol. I've learned with my loaches and plecos that anything that gets removed from the tank goes into a bucket of tank water. They will hide a very long time in an ornament or piece of driftwood before getting desperate enough to wriggle out. I've had too many scary experiences, to ever take the chance again.

Yeah, I checked yesterday and learned I had left my clown loach and peacock eel in the ornament... Last time I get something hollow.
