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

The hardest fish i have ever tried to catch was a 10cm simase alage eater in a 30inch heavy planted tank. He had started nibbling the slime on my discus. he had to go. I got him from my lfs when they were setting up all new tanks, some guy wanted this it so i had to mind him till they found him. the sweetner was i got a 15cm sailfin pleco, to mind as well. anyway neither guy showed up for the fish so i ened up with them by default. yay for the plec but i hated that alage eater from the moment he was in my tank. I wanted to use the siamese as a tester for my newly set up 4 foot. that brace in the middle was the biggest pain, the nets would get caught in the plants and pull them out. By the time i caught him my planted tank was wrecked. I seriously considered dumping him in the cod tank as revenge, but as he was a good alage trimmer he went into the new 4 foot. I just hoped the extra space would mean i never saw him! But he is never leaving that 4 foot, I think even when i turn it marine, i'm not gunna try to move him!
My Dovii, I ended up buy a rubber net cause he just ripped the crap out've all the nets I tried to use on him. It was like a game, I put the net in his tank he grabs ahold of it and tried to pull it away from me.
Little $h*t.
Little $h*t.
my 3 lei are insane to catch if i even walk past me tank with a net in hand they start thrasing around the tank spilling ****loads off water its like they know they net = trouble
talking catfish, when he was alive and even gettin him out dead was a nightmare....then how do u catch a 2ft plec with a net???? once again, even dead was a pain
I have to agree with the pacu people. Last time I moved mine, they were only a foot and a half. There was a river flowing through the middle of my living room. I can't imagine next time. My now 2 foot marble pim is going to be fun, too. For the big guys, I usually use garbage bags (thick ones). Plecos aren't too bad. I usually catch them with my hands. It can be time consuming, but it is better than cutting them out of a net.
