Default Tips to catch Bristlenose

Hi all

I want to tranfer a 3in bristlenose from a heavily planted tank to a new
cichlid tank I've setup. Any tips on how to catch her without destroying
the plants?

Thanks

Leong



Does it have a favourite hidey hole?
If not, introduce a 6-8 inch piece of dark plastic pipe, or even a terra
cotta flowerpot. Once the fish enters this cave, it is as good as caught.
Try to avoid using a net as their spiny fins can get quite entangled,
causing fin damage and ruining the net.
Have patience. I wish you a world of luck.
