Try draining the water out of the tank and only leave a small amount of water. Then use a net to catch the little bugger.
try and chase them to the front of the aquarium and then catch em holding the net to the glas and move it upwards slowly to the place you want to relocate them or put them in then either wait for them to swim fully in the net or gently put your hand in the fish tank and trap it in the net then take it out of the water:) hehe patience is the key…
get them in the top corner put the net behind them and tap the tank lightly and i emphasise lightly don’t scare them and they should swim right into the net and then you can take them out
i would try useing a long handle fish net
Try this:
It worked for my baby bristlenose plecos! However, this can also catch skinny fish such as dojo loaches and small eels.
use a tank divider to trap them in.
