I actually get in the tank with a piece of light diffuser that I use to corral the fish into a corner and net them out. It's really simple, I just have to drain it down to 30" or so and get wet.

As you know the pair spawned. But a day or two after they laid eggs I noticed the males lip looked pretty swollen and sore. So I pulled him out and asked Dan of COA what he thought. He said it looked like flagellates were attacking the lip ( which they were) where he was ripped up from pair lip locking. I began treatment and as dead flesh fell off it looked more and more like half of the upper jaw was dislocated. It wasn't. It was broken. About a month later that half fell off and he recuperated fully other than the missing portion of his jaw. He isn't able to be in a community setup anymore so he is now a wet pet in a tank upstairs. I sold her after I pulled him out hoping he would go back in after he healed because I didn't want to risk that again. I wish I'd have waited on that. Big thanks to Dan for helping me save the big guy. Here's some pics of him right before and after the jaw fell off.
