How does your LFS bag your fish?

[Amphiprion]

At the LFS I used to work at, we would catch the fish using pre soaked fine mesh nets. We would have the pre-filled bags floating in the tank so that the fish could gently be placed into it and rubber banded. Many people say nets are too stressful, but every single one of my fish have been net caught (and long lived). As long as you follow precautions with nets, they can work very well with minimal stress.

The key being fine mesh. A tang with a large mesh net and 2 people not knowing what they aer doing? Recipe for injury.

I've not heard of the hang on side box thing.. our LFS places the bag in the water and nets the fish with a large small mesh net, it's quicker! pops the fish in the bag and then twists the top of the bag, they don't spin it, then rubber band it.. they place it on some tape and tape up the corners then it goes into a dark bag to come home....

Exactly the same way my LFS does it
