Removing fish

[ricco34]

Anyone else hate when you have to remove an mbuna from your tank? With all the rock work and places to hide. It took me about an hour to get my holding female to strip her. Does anyone have any good strategies on getting them out?

I hate this as well!! I spent about same amount of time yesterday to strip my female. Then once I get her she completely spit all... Into the net..

Tips would be great!!

As far as I know lowering the water and removing some if not all of the decor is the best way and even then you'll probably have to chase it down with the net.

Well since soon I have to get my holding female I'll use that as an opritunity to rearrange the rocks. Always gotta look on the bright side!

In the past, I've cornered her into a cave, then just transplanted the entire cave.
