how to catch babies??

[okiefish]

i have a 150 gallon tank with plants and driftwood and my demasoni cichlids had babies. they are doing fine in there but i want to catch the babies to move them to a different tank to sell them. anyone have suggestions/ experience in ways to make catching them easier in this big of a tank?

what size are the fry? If they are wrigglers, I use to siphon them out with a gravel vac. For larger fish I've made traps using soda bottles.

Smaller wholes for smaller fish.
Hope this helps.

looks like a great idea! will give that a try first with the soda bottle. yeah they arent small and slow anymore, they are fairly small but really fast.
