need advice with Pitus Catfish
I have 4 pitus cats in a 125g tank that I need to take out.They are 5"each and right now are with my cichlids.I want to put them in my 55g. The problem is , the first time I had to net them one got his pectoral fin caught in the net,which required cutting the net off him,so I bought a fine net. Well this happened again the second time,I had to net. I then used a glass for the rest.
So everybody , whats the best approach to this?
I learned not to use a net(at least no deaths in the learning process!) ,but hate to use cups ect. because these fish are fast ! If I remember right it took a afternoon to catch them and I had alot of stressed out fish!! Any one have a better idea ??
thanks in advance.
