	Fish Catching Skills 101
greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	Most fish I have to catch are large so I take out all the hiding places and other decor that could hurt them. Then I use my large net and corner them and scoop them up. I do this for most of my fish and I haven't had a problem.

Place the cup into the tank and submerge it, then use the net to gently guide the fish into the cup. It can take some practice, but once you can do it effectively, it's a very low stress way to catch fish, especially fish that can be caught or injured in a net.

I also try and trap them in their caves and such. It all really depends on the kind of fish you are after. Hope this helps! 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric
