So i just went through the process of moving my tank from one side of the room to the other... and i'm scarred for life
I thought i did everything right... went out and bought a 10 gallon bucket to empty some of the water into, and to hold the fish in during the move.
I had caught about half the fish and was trying to catch the rest when I spotted a fish on the carpet out of the corner of my eye! I flipped out and screamed until my boyfriend came to get it for me (yeah, i'm a big baby). Turns out that rainbow fish are pretty good jumpers. We put the lid on the bucket after that...
After moving the tank I slid the 10 gallon bucket away from the wall, only to find another rainbow fish that had jumped out and was between the bucket and wall, dead. I'm still keeping an eye on the first jumper...
I'll never move my tank again as long as I live....
