Can fish get themselves out of small places?


Recommended Posts

My adult male Apistogramma cacatuoides is headfirst into a gap between stones:

You can just see his tail fin there.

Can fish get out of small spaces that they can get themselves into, or do I need to rescue him? If the latter, any advice on removing the stones so that I don't hurt him?

Sometimes. other times they get themselves stuck. They usually get stuck when they are spooked.  Apistos are cave dwellers so I'd be shocked if he got himself in a spot he cant get out of unless he was spooked.
