I dont think it has ever happened to me before, – and I think the reason it happened is because this 60 liter tank has a lot more lightening than the other tanks I have, and therefore produce an extremely thick cover of salvinia natans. (at some point it was literally a couple of cm thick). This way the tank floor is very dark still, and I am sure then the fry seek up in the cover of the plants.
For this reason of course I have a tendency to use this tank for supplying other tanks with more floating plants.
Normally though I would ‘shake’ plants like this well before lifting them out of the tank, – I think I must have forgotten this.
I would not worry under normal conditions, – and at least now I would still use excess plants, but I would be very careful to shake it well before taking it out.
But I will definitely keep this in mind as a potential ‘danger’ when transferring plants between tanks.
