Vacuuming and Decorating - Take Fish Out?

[theotheragentm]

When I do gravel vacs or if I go a step further and want to rearrange decorations, should the fish be completely out of the tank?

na, that would just completely stress them out!

That's what I figured. I figured it's worse to take them out than to have a huge muscular arm in the tank. Okay, so scratch the muscular part, but you know what I mean.

No reason to take them out.

Leave them in to reduce stress...Finding Nemo is just plain odd...
No need to take them out. Just make sure you don't bury any fish with the decor

I completely agree, taking the fish out will stress both them and you trying to catch them.
