I really need to put some of these guys into my hap tank but then realized they'd probably run right into the overflow box or at least I am afraid they might. Anyone have problems or experience with that? Should i risk it?

Note: They wont get eaten.

Never had a problem with adults, but the babies swim up my power filters and sometimes jump out of the tank.

Yeah these guys maybe have the chinese disease (tu yung) (side note: HAHAHAHA)

I might put up a little net over the overflow.

A net should do the trick, always better safe than sorry

I found them in my whisper filter when I change media. I always find babies in the bottom of my box filters.

I've not found them in the overflow boxes. They will always seek filter tubes and such if they are uncovered.
