fish master get a pond net with real fine soft mesh.laguna makes a few .lead him in head first then softly hold him in the net they seem to know your not going to hurt them by the way you handle them if that makes sense.Once you get them in the net!ha!!!!
 
Plastic bag worked well. I blocked one side of the tank with a net, let the one I wanted to move to one side, then he either swam into the net or the bag, then I would have it in the bag, and there was no splashing.
 
How big are they?

I used an anesthetic last time...worked a treat.
 
I bought a big rubber net from a sporting goods shop and it was easy as cake too catch my huge tem and big ocell. The net is huge and they had nowhere to go. Easiest thing ive done
