My dwarf lion would be easy to catch...he is overly friendly I could hand feed him most nights......haven't tested any of his spines out yet and hope to keep it that way

I used to grab my naso tang and move him out of the way when I was working in the tank. It would eat from my hand and was easy to catch by hand. My niger trigger is easy to catch as well and has on occasion has actually jumped right into the cup I use for feeding.

A few years ago, when I bought a 6.5' long plexi tank from someone in Vancouver, the bright guy gave away his only net and didn't have any way to catch the fish out when I went to pick up the tank. He drained several buckets of water into his bathtub, then we caught all 50+ fw fish by hand. He was very bad at it so I sent him away. I ended up having to catch discus, catfish, plecos, tetras, angelfish & all sorts of other fish by hand that night. It would have been so much faster & easier with a net.

Believe it or not its a pentax optio waterproof point and shoot. I ve been really happy with it so far.


Ok....I dont think we can count clown fish....we all know that if there is a fish that we keep that is mentally challenged....its is a clown fish. I also catch my female clown on a regular basis in the feeding cup.
