Which fish do you DREAD netting out? Which ones do you not mind?

[Dr Joe]

RB Piranha's. They shredded my nets. How do you move them. I ended up moving them with a collander, that wasn't easy.

Large pastic bag, chase them ito it.

 

[IKeepPacu]

my pacu for the sheer mess, and small bichirs for being so damn fast

as was said, when moving a big pacu, you know EVERYTHING within a 5 foot radius of that tank is going to get wet.

Peacock eel. Damselfish in a full blown reef.

my bluegill, he's faster than my tetras

My 3 12-16 inch wild caught LMB. Everytime I have to net them, I have to refill the tank 20-30 gallons, spend 10 minutes cleaning the floor, and take a shower after wards.

LOL...How true. I had this trouble once. The damsels were far too quick for me to net. Wrasses are another thing.

Pacu for the mess, ID Shark (pangasius) for the getting stuck. Ahli fry in a planted tank for speed. Guppies swim right in.

I've only netted him once, but it was a mess! Plus he tore a couple fins

I attached a picture of the net. It is a "snag-free" net made of rubber. I got it from the Sportsman's Warehouse.

You need a net like mine, they don't get stuck!
