I'm getting ready to do a water change, I figure it's the best time to get extra fish out.

What's are some tips to get some of the 20+ blue johanni out of my tank.

I've got 4 yellow labs, 5 venustus, 2 albino peacocks, 1 salvini and at least 20 blue johanni. Many of the johanni are very small.

I think I'm going to pull all the rocks out with this cleaning...

Of course I want to stress out the rest of the fish as little as possible.

Pics make everything better so here:

Looks like the same tank/stand I have :) All-Glass-Aquarium Oak? good stuff.

If you already plan to take out the decor I don't think it'll be too hard, just get the biggest net you can find haha. Use your hand or a 2nd net to help convince the fish to swim into the net.

You'll likely net ones you dont want to, but I think it'll be less stressful to net out several at a time and be done w/ it, rather than go all over the place with a small net getting 1 a time chasing them all day.
