You're gonna LOVE it!!
And be sure to get the one that has the sleeve and not the sock.
This way you will be able to slide that big ol' Black Aro right on out when the time is right...

Don't use a half gallon tub to catch 5 6-8 inch piranha.
When I bought my tank it came with the fish, it was 8:30 am and we had the tank down to 1/3 full. I ask the seller if he has a net so we can work on catching them. "Sure" and he pulls out a 3 inch net "I guess its been a while". We ended up getting them all in there with only 2 getting dropped on the wood floor. It wasn't until the last fish that we figured out to put the 5 gal bucket in the tank so they would stop getting dropped. Still had to use the pail but it made the distance shorter so it couldn't jump out.
Week later I figured out the fish store that was 2 blocks away opens at 7 Am.
On the plus side I now use the 3 inch net to scoop out leaves and stuff but it sucks that the fish arn't scared of it. I poke and prod them with it and they don't move when I'm cleaning up. Jerk fish.

I got a couple of nets that are the correct size, but with Jag's w/fry they seem to have got holes bitten in them...can't figure out how that might have happened...When I go to scoop out fry, my Male will swim full speed right into the mesh...they don't care about no stinkin' net I tell ya!...
Well, my 11" Jack Dempsey is certainly not as big as an Arrowana, but I have not been able to find any nets at the pet stores bit enough and sturdy enough for him. What I do is empty the tank down to at LEAST half -empty, then very slowly (usually takes 5-10 min to catch him) I herd him into a clean plastic bag and lift him out of the tank and immediately place him into another holding container while I do a thorough tank clean. Normally I try not to take him out if its not absolutely necessary. But I think that if you handle and catch fish while they are young, it gets them used to being caught when they are older and *bigger*!!
look up how the transport whales and dolphins! Like in free willy! Use a large cloth and two sticks, you get the idea?
