This Is Going To Be A Pain..............

[ghent_3rd]

I need to catch a garra in a planted and bogwood community tank, 180 litre, because he is causing a few problems for my Queen Arabesque at feedign time but he is like lightning around the tank. Can't get near him with a net. I'm going to try and get him in the dark, maybe tonight, but if that fails I really am struggling. Any ideas??


I am not stripping down my tank to catch him, I'm not that desperate!!

other than reducing the water level to around 3"
you can buy a fish trap (aquamedic).
A decent LFS would hire one to you.
or you could design & make your own

persevere or use two nets it may help

Yeah, two nets, one smaller one just for coraling him into the big one, and also try it at night and use a lamp with a red bulb in it. I heard somewhere that fish can't see a red light.
