catching fish

[Kado]

would just like to know how everyone goes catching their fish eg. sick, injured or the bully to separate them from the others because I have a lot of hiding spots and it can be a nightmare. sometimes I think I've created more stress for them

I take things out of the tanks before I try to net but I keep my tanks pretty bare except for the show tanks. In those tanks I have a devil of a time trying to catch fish especially corys.

Usually I try catching the fish 2 large mesh nets

I think I'll need to remove all the rocks and stuff and use 2 nets. that sounds like the best way. thanks

 

[CichlidLady0312]

I still remove the decorations but the 2 nets definitely help. Use one to guide the fish the other one to catch it w

 

[Kado]

it's a big job isn't it?

thanks again

Its the worst Lol

And when you do need to catch a fish, I try and wait until feeding time. Much easier at least w my peacocks since they greet me at the top of the tank.

I like to wait until the lights have been of for an hour or two they are allot slower then and easier to catch. Sometimes however you have to strip the tank in order to catch fish, just a fact of life.

Get a 2 liter bottle

Cut the the very top of the bottle just enough so the fish can fit into it.
Cut the front part of the bottle off, and push the side that would be the cap side into the bottle.
And bait the trap with cucumber or something.
Theres a video on youtube about it also.
This causes no stress to the fish also.

I did the same thing only used a smaller bottle to catch a crab that ate my cleaner shrimp , worked like a charm for that.
Had him within an hour.

that my friend. sounds like a very good plan. will definitely be trying it out.

I use 2 big nets but move them slowly. Lots of times I can get them on the first try.

Also if you drain the tank some it's easier as well.
