I had this happen recently but i was moving guppys from one tank to another and he jumped out of the cup i had him in. I was netting othe fish and looked in the cup he was gone. Made his way behind the tank among the cords. He is alive and well.
I hate when you catch it too late and they are...
I think it depends on a lot of what you want out of the tank. The Surface area is different, also some fish like to have more horizontal swiming area.
What are the plans for the tank?
Mixed community tank
Single species
Planted or not
Some opinions are there are some fish that should not go...
Give them away? Friends, family, neighbors, school kids. Sell them on craigslist for a buck. Look for a mom and pop pet store that might take them.

I am looking at upgrading light fixture / lights. I want to us less electricity/ wattage. I have converted every fixture in our home with leds so naturally i have been debating on the tank I have running now. I do have plans for a new tank that will have led fixture but that is in the planning...
Well i used the dog dewormer. Fenbendazole i think i was 1 gram packets. What i did was divided up the packet into 4 zipper bags. I have a 20 gallon tank.
I did a water change every Sunday night and added the fenben to my water bucket and filled tank. I changed it 75% each sunday for 4 weeks...

Thanks for all the input. I think i will just put my snails in my new shrimp tank build. Since they are clearly unhappy in the community.

Ok so this is my second attempt at keeping 2 mystery snails. One floated and died after3 days. Now second one won't come out so i placed him temporarily in a bowl with tank water.
At first they were both active and seemed happy.
I am not new to the hobby...but snails i never really tried to...
I noticed no one commented on the sister chemical that is in many areas added to its chlorimine not chlorine which does not evaporated from the tap water...so the dechlorinator is need. Lots of people in or area lost fish when the change occurred several years back.
While i stile do the bucket...
Im my opinion its the red ear...we are talking turtle here right??? They are notoriously messy. I had one that grew up and 75 gallon with a under tank filter rated for 200 galons is what kept that tank clean. But she was almost 10 inches then. And is happily living in a pond.
Get the turtle out...
