I dont think I could catch any of my fish by hand.

You would be surprised. We were temporarily housing some fish(red zebra mbuna) in ten gallon tanks on the floor while our friends' power was out. My almost 3 year old son and his friend(same age) decided to go "handfishing". They managed to catch one of the fish and it ended up on the floor. Fortunately my wife quickly got it back in the tank and it was none the worse for the "adventure".
 
yeah i know..... acts like its not a big deal to :( they are feeder guppy frys, but my fish none the less.......
 
Sounds like you need to get genuinly mad at them, and let them know. Tell them that they aren't welcome, or that you have the mind to kick his rear end out; especially fo being so disrespectful... Everyone who steps foot in my apartment knows that my policy on the tanks is "You can look all you want, but the moment you touch, you'll lose a finger". You put effort into building up your tanks and rearing these fish, they should have enough respect for you to undersand that, and respect your things.
 
he said he will replace the fish...... i lost 12 guppy frys thats not even 2 weeks old........... not replaceable..... he also turned on one of my light switches that controls one side of the wall outlets and burned out my 20 long light......... and didnt hear him say sorry....... i told him not to touch anything unless asked..... ugh.. told him he cant stay tonight.. wanted to take a nap. thats fine but after that hes gone.. i got things to do, and i cant work on my tank with him here as i am worried he may mess more things up or end up hurting/killing more fish..........
