catching fish in a planted tank.

My problem with the lights out, is that I can't see.

if you have somewhere for the rams for a day or two. Remove them when they hog the food.
Put a couple of nets in the tank.
Wait an hour.
Feed them.
Catch them.
Put rams back.
 
i once used a glass jar i just tipped it on it's side in the corner of the tank and used a small net to chase the fish around and they swam right in lol

You are totally right since all fish are very lethargic when the lights have been out for a while and no matter if they are in plants or by/under wood it would be easier to catch them since they wont be darting around the tank like mad.. Just simply turn on the lights, place a net next to them and give them a light push.

Adding traps that are big enough for the fish is already a pain since it will bend plants or if anything they would have to be removed/replanted.. and then we are back to square 1 thinking why the heck didnt i just remove the plants in the first place..
