I checked on my tank this morning and found this guy stuck. I’ve been trying for hours and can’t get him out. I tried flushing with water, luring with food, rotating, ever got desperate and tried to break the glass with a mallet but it wouldn’t break. I’m at a loss.

Insert a butter knife or other flat wide metal object like a screw driver into the hole and hit with hammer, take care that the fish won’t be hit and have a bowl of water ready to get him into
Worlds smallest tank am I right
either insert the whole thing in a bowl of water so it’s completely full and hope it will swim out with time, or break it open
It must be the best day in his life 🥳
Like a fish bathysphere.
Not helpful but he be lookin proud of the grief he’s causing 😙
Break the glass in a bowl of water, much more controlled breakage then scoop them out with a net dispose of the glass and water afterwards by filtering out the glass and tossing it in the trash.
Wrap it tightly with damp cling film, then put it on something hard, and tap the air bubble gently with a hammer. The broken glass will stick to the cling film in chunks. You can safely help buddy escape this way!
I think you’re a bit overstocked
I would fill it up with water completely and put it in eg a bowl with water. And hope for the best
Like a fish astronaut, traveling where no fish had ever gone before.
Maybe help him “see” the exit by covering the globe (aside from the exit) with duct tape or something similar? Then put in a bucket of water and hope the ambient light will help draw him to the right path.
