What is the best way to catch fish without harming/stressing them? I should know this by now, after seeing the lfs employees doing it so many times. But I don't think they are as concerned about stressing or harming the fish as i am. They are not their pets after all!
I've been trying to catch the rummy nose with a net (may be a little too small). They are impossible! Just too fast for me!
I'm concerned about hurting them against the glass so I end up giving up and letting them be.
I wanted to change the tetras first to the new tank. So far the SAE, the shrimp and the cories have been successfully relocated and seem to be loving the space in the larger tank. But I cannot catch any of the small guys. I could catch the Angel easily, he is not scared of the net, but I want to change the 3 biggies last.
I don't see any way to do it unless I buy a larger net and take all the plants out so they cannot hide. Now... I didn't want to change the plants yet until all the fish are relocated -they need their habitat. The other way would be to move them all at once and this is a stretch.
Any advice?
Thank you!
