Speargun
Anyone have a speargun I can borrow/rent? Tried netting, trapping negotiating and swearing (mostly the latter). I can't seem to get my damn Monodactylus argenteus out of the tank. Maybe I should trap out all the other livestock, plug in my wife's blow dryer and throw it in the tank for a bit. Open to suggestions. Thanks.

 Could you try coaxing him into a net at night when's he's bedded down and catch him off guard? It may be easier than tearing apart your tank.

Yeah . That's plan 'B'. I was kinda hoping for the gratifcation of the speargun plan first. Would you recommend jigging or trolling by a power head? I could try casting but it's only a 6' tank and I'm a bit rusty.

I only ever tried fly fishing once. Couldn't get the hang of it. For one thing, the waders didn't even have a zipper. How's that gonna work???

Ah. The voice of reason.
Tried the stealthy approach last night. It probably would have worked for any of the other critters. The mono has huge eyes and can be fairly active at night. Darn thing seems to be able to read minds too. I've never seen it hide but last night it uncharacteristically disappeared when I was looking for the net. My wife thought I had already caught it.
