Oscar hates being transferred to holding tank

One thing I learned when I cleaned the aquarium
today is that Chief Brody hates being removed from his aquarium. The transfer is traumatic for the fish and fishkeeper.

I realized today that Chief Brody is simply getting too big to be removed. As much as he hates being in the aquarium while I'm vacuuming the rock and replacing portions of the water, this mild annoyance is certainly preferable to being netted and placed in the small holding tank.

From now on, Chief Brody is simply going to have to cope with life inside the aquarium during routine cleanings.

I've already decided that the holding tank is being retired after this episode.
