Stick a fork through it and gently place on the bottom of the tank :thumbup:
I have the screwcumbers though, they are great

is it safe to put metal objects in the tank? i was told never to put metal in the tank as it makes the water go bad
I use stainless steel eye bolts. That way I can tie fishing line to the eye to retreive it without having to stick my arm in the tank. Some are wary about string in the tank as it could pose a risk of entanglement thus I use heavy monofilament fishing line as it is far stiffer & less likely to bind. I also make sure to dull any sharp points & edges, should probably do that with any object you choose to use.
Hi, Titan.
i ussualy use stainless steel forks, with a rope( just to make it easy to take, so not disturb the community ).
but use SS spoon if there is a fry, because it's gona suck between fork. becarefull.

also as a trick, attach some fishing string to the bolts and then you do not get the hands wet :thumbup:...cheers jk
hey good thinking but i have some aquarium tongs to get the bolts out so my hands stay nice n dry
