Try a big clear freezer bag. They dont see it like they see a net and if you can corner them will try to swim through your hands rather than around them like a net.
Or try a good sized piece of tupperware and gently steer them into it with the net. You may need to just leave the net in the tank for a while to get them used to it. But if they are already spooked........ Will they come to the surface for food?? When I moved, my g/f got some of our fish by luring them into plastic with food.
Haha when I had my danios some were stupider than others but i definitely did have issues catching them. Try cornering them and then going up from underneath to chase them up or fake one way then go the other lol
