i bought one of those real big mesh laundry bags from walmart for 2.99 with that handles on top. its extremely soft, so it wont harm the fish, and they cant get caught. i had to move two, almost 2' pacu this way and it worked beautifully.
one word of advice....wear minimal clothing, and anything you dont want wet, move atleast 10-15 feet away from the pacu's path. there will be a giant shower that ensues when you go to lift them from the water. and anything and everything will get soaked.
once they get much larger than 2-2.5ft i think it becomes safer for the fish and owner to get an exotic vet to give you a fish anesthetic. id hate to try moving a pissed off 2.5ft pacu that weighs 30-40lbs.
