To catch a tominini tang??

[Coralgurl]

Without ripping apart the tank.....any suggestions? Ive had a net in the tank for a while, but he's so skittish, won't go near it. So I doubt a hook will work for the same reason. He's a great fish, just can't keep a goby with him.

Ive had luck catching fish in the middle of the night either in the dark while there sleeping or by flicking on the lights and catching them while they are stunned, there is also the home made trap using a 2l bottle that ive has luck with

Night catching- good idea, but he sleeps in the very back of the tank under rocks. And if I go after one side of the tank, he swims behind the rocks to the other side.

A sudden flash of light works. Its enough to confuse the fish.

Now that's a great idea...except I just filled my water containers back up overnight and don't have anything to hold 100+ gallons of water...

Will see what I can round up.....how low does the tank need to get?
