If I know I need to catch fish in a day or two I'll put the fish net in the
tank and leave it there. They get used to it and it makes it easier to
simply whip the net up when the correct fish swims above it. :-)

Here in zone 5 I won't even try a pl*co outside, but when I have to catch
one in an aquarium I'll put a piece of appropriately sized PVC pipe in
and when he goes in, reach in, cover bothe ends and lift out the pipe
with occupant. This works on small ones and my (approx) fifteen sailfin
pl*co in a 90 gal tank...m
