Because if I don't, the Pandas and the Otocinclus are apt to treat the gravel vac as a new toy, or in the case of the Otocinclus, mistakenly believe that they'll find some nice tasty algae on it and try sucking the bell-shaped piece of lemonade bottle I've used as the 'business end' of my 50p DIY gravel vac.

Every time I do a water change the cories seem to want to come and have a look at what's going on. They remind me of those birds that follow the farmer's tractors when they're plowing a field
