King Kong got himself into a bit of a pickle the other day... he'd managed to swim into the little stone tunnel tank ornament and got himself stuck. So there he was frantically swimming to free himself when Greg happened to notice that we were one fish down and then finally saw his little head poking out the back end of the tunnel along with one front fin sticking out and waving about. On inspection, he'd managed to get his head out one end of the tunnel along with one fin which he was waggling about, but the rest of him was wider than the tunnel exit and he had swum so hard to try and push through the tunnel he had wedged himself in the narrow end. Godzilla seemed rather concerned and actually swam up to end of the tunnel where King Kongs head was to watch helplessly (i like to think he was trying to console him). Anyway after trying to unsucessfully free him without directly touching him failed, Greg resorted to pushing him out backwards using his thumb to push on King Kongs head.
So he's free now, and seems ok. We did rearrange the tunnel thing so that they can't get stuck in it anymore by turning it on its end and stuffing stones in it, so it shouldn't happen again.
The whole incident does show that the fishes are still growing :)
