- If you're in danger of stirring up a lot of sediment, then you might want
- to consider moving the fish until it settles. If you're using a
- gravel/sand/combination which won't stir up (i.e. heavier particles, and
- clean) then you should have no problem.

- I'm rearanging plants in my tank all the time (either the plants grow to
- darn fast (not the rooting plants generally) or a pleicostimus (excuse
- the spelling) decides to do some rearranging.)
