I had to move my aquarium, and when I caught one of my glow light tetras, his bottom fins got caught in the net. We tried to untangle him for about ten minutes, but never could. I ended up just cutting around him, and now he's swimming around with a chunk of net about half as big as his body hanging from his bottom fins.

What should I do? Leave him be? Try to cut some more net off? What if I accidentally cut his fins, will that hurt?

Good news! The other guys thought it was food and kept tugging on it. With their help he finally shook it free :)

He looks fine. I've got six of them total, and I can't even tell which one was caught!
