That's a lot of Endler's! I'm surprised the larger Goldfish don't eat a few.
Hmmmmm. I hadn't thought of the fish hurting themselves on the egg crate. It might be a bit rough of their mouths. And the chopstick idea wouldn't work - they would probably just push them out of the way.
I know what you mean about fish getting into things you wish they'd leave alone. I have a Weather Loach who is 10 years old now. He used to move things around the tank and do a spot of "gardening", but he's settled down a bit with time. Only problem is, he's now over 20cm long and about 2cm wide, and very strong. As he swims around, he crushes plants by accident when his tail hits them!
