Specifically someone like Mojo who has both Jumbo and that red-tail catfish...


... what does it take to get them out of the tank if you need to?
 
hook line and sinker:P

but seriously, whenever i've had to catch huge oddballs at work, it's usually a case of a huge back, wet towel and big newt, coupled with a hell of a lot of luck...
 
Mo recently moved his pacu, and he used some knock-out juice, a buddy, and lots of towels. It took several towels and 2 people to move a 3 foot lung fish. We wrapped the towels around ths fish, and hefted it out of the tank. Carrying it up the stairs was not fun.

I think most large fish are seldom moved.
 
I would guess that's a typo, and should say 'net'.

Though maybe newts are good pack animals?
:D
 
lol, you should see the size of the newts around here, we train them to go in, pick the fish up in their mouths and take them to their new home:p

yeh, it was meant to say net, i'm not that cruel!
 
I used a large trout net to get my oscars (about 10-11 inches) out of their tank.
