    this is very common in moss walls, try to seal up holes which ur fishes are are to swim in. other people do have this problems, but when a mos wall is matured, there will be few or no cases of fishes dying in this way.

    how about wait for your moss wall to grow before introducing fish.

    It is quite difficult to seal up every gap between the moss wall and tank wall. Instead of doing that, I choose to wider the gap so that fish can swiming in and "U turn" out from the gap.

    hi plantz

    What i do is to get those hard plastic divider with holes inbetween for Lohangs

    Next i buy water hose from Hardware stores to go ard the edges. That will really seal off the gap between the plastic mesh and the tank wall.

    Happy making. Will try to post a picture to help if u dont quite unstd me here.

    Thks guys for your advices.

    I put the mesh all the way back against the glass since I was rushing to work. So far, a week have passed with no victims.
