lenver Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does anyone know where I can buy one or the fabric, I'll trying to catch all my fish to get them out of the display tank and moved into a quarantine tank. What I want to do is kind of go fishing by placing the net/fabric around the edges of the tank covering the rock and when the fish are swimming in the middle start raising the net on the sides to closed them in then getting them out. Any ideas, I've been able to catch only two with the bottle trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 when I was removing all the fish from my 175g I built a divider out of 1/2 pvc and attached the BRS screening to it with zip ties. This way I could corral a fish to one end where I'd removed all the rock and slide the divider down and form a small area that made it 1000% easier to catch in a regular net. I made the frame so that it was just a little wider that the tank and reached the surface. This way it was sure to block any escape from the front or back and over the top. Unfortunately I trashed it...not thinking someone else may need it. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I might have to keep that idea in the back of my head James for when I have to move my fish. Good thinking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 That's how I removed some of my tangs when I had my big tank. I made my divider out of a scrap 1/8in acrylic sheet and lure then into the section using what else.....FOOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
