I've got a friend who keeps fish and I'm tempted to try to foist my Buenos Aires tetras off on him. They're healthy fish, but they're a little too boisterous for my aquarium. I picked them because they were larger tetras which was what I was wanting. I'm thinking I should've gone w/the congos.

Anyway, I was thinking of putting together a homemade fish trap instead of chasing them all over my 55 gallon tank. Has anyone actually tried the the pop bottle w/the top inverted thing in their tank?
 
Yeah, I'm familiar with how to do it. I figured I could punch holes in the top of it to let water circulate through it. I didn't know if anyone here has tried something like this and what results they had.
