Default catch an angel

Any tips/ tricks on how to get a fish into a net? Short of ripping apart my rock work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Take 2ltr Pop bottle, rinse it out, cut the "cone" part off, put some mysis or such in the bottle... lower into the tank, let fish swim in... Yank out!

Worth a try anyways.

If you got another pop bottle, you could try making the hole only large enough for clowns/angel??..

If you stick with the net, it's just gonna take some patience and time (maybe some luck.. haha)

fishytime should be able to chime in.. can't remember how he caught his bi-color.

You can use a glass mixing bowl insted and a plait wate for the angle to swim in and place the plait over the entrance. It has to be a clear mixing bowl one they can see through or they may figure it out onthe other hand if they can not see through it and you can leave it in the tank for a day. On the other hand they may think its a new cave if they can not see though it and be at home with it then you can sneek up an them and cover it.

Default fishing

try using some porous net-like cloth, make a big square and tie 4 strings to each of the corners. Sink the cloth to the bottom of your tank. When you feed the fish, they should all come to the top and you pull up your net and then isolate out the angel with another dip net.

or, " got a small fishing rod and barbless no 12 hooks ? " Might be fun. lol
