Catching Fish in a LArge Tank --Tips

[Plantshrink]

Hi Everyone,

Any tips on pulling fish from a 220 gal? I have put some green vegetables in a fish net to catch plecos, but what about other fish. Don't want to take the whole tank down.

Lower the water level, use 2 nets and take your time.

It will also help to have second helper.

I usually do a 50% water change and then pull the decor. Trap in a corner.

agreed with everyone else, perfect time for a water change. remove or re-arrange decor to create an open corner. use a small net to move fish into the open and with a bigger net slowly trap it in the corner.

I use a cut and sized piece of egg crate to corner them and then net them out. But like the others have said, be patient and don't chase after them.

Hold up what fish are you catching? Technique and strategy vary with different fish. LOL

You all really have to drain your water down? Lol just get a couple nets and corner them its really not that hard. Especially if its like an Oscar or something I caught mine in 1 min when I sold it....
