Put some of their favorite foods in a large net and wait. I have done this with other fish and it has worked.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Or else submerse a bottle in the tank & put food in it. Usually I cut the top part of the bottle & tape it inside out. Hope you understood me.

try one of those "Lee's Kritter Keepers" and put some food in it the plecos will soon congregate in there and you can just lift it out (be sure to lift from the bottom and not the handle).

\\\\\\\"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure\\\\\\\"

Since you would be after the less dominant males to sell first, set up a bunch of caves when you can see into them.
When one takes up residence just lift out cave and all.
