Same. When we put our mandarin in the tank he seemed a little stunned for some reason and although we had most pumps off, the overflows were still doing their thing and we just weren't fast enough with the net. We ended up removing the pipe and he plopped out. We drained the overflow, though, almost, so the water wouldn't come flooding out. On checking the other overflow, we found one of our red leg hermit crabs and our sally lightfoot crab. Flushed them out, too. Good Luck.
