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 Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Usually I cut the top part of the bottle & tape it inside out.

brandeeno Mega Fish Posts: 929 Kudos: 636 Registered: 13-Sep-2007  | 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\\\\\\\" |
