Hi everyone! Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to catch fish. I have a 90 gallon heavily planted tank and am trying to catch silver tipped tetras, I have caught 3 of 7 but the other 4 I can not get. I've tried using two nets and trying to catch them off guard but all I am doing is stressing everyone out:banghead::facepalm::banghead::facepalm:
:thanks:
 
One strategy I've used is to drop food in and scoop them up as they come to the surface to eat, but it's not the best strategy if you have lots of other fish joining the frenzy.
 
You could lower the water level, but it might be hard with your size of tank. Try getting them when the lights are off when they are sleeping. Turn them off for awhile, let them calm down, then switch them on and net them when they are still disoriented. But you only have a limited time until they get readjusted to the light. good luck!
