Okay in by 5 x 2 x 2 heavily rocked tank i have 2 brichardi which i want to catch.
They are too aggresive as they are constantly breeding and they are discouraging the other fish from exploring half of the tank.
is there anyway possible of catching them with out using a net or moving rocks?

good luck catching them with out moving the rocks i have trouble trying to catch my yellows in a 4ft moving all my rocks. the way i catch them is to chase them into a cave that i bought at my lfs u block off one way and they hop right into the net easy as that. but with brichardi............... goodluck

hey ,

if you arent gonna move any rocks or nets, id try something random like get a 2L coke bottle, cut the neck off and put it going into the bottle and put bait in the bottle,sink it, so then the fish get attracted to it and when they swim in it grab the bottle and its all over for the fish. but you might have to cut a little bit above the bottle mouth so that the hole is a little bigger for he fish to swim in if ya know what i mean.

even if it sounds like it wont work, id try it, could be interesting. This is how i used to catch gambezia for food.

Blake i suggest just take the rocks out, I know the felling though i think everyone does

But would be the simpler way instead of mucking around. Good Luck

Definately at night with a torch,unless they sleep in the middle of your rocks.

yer what i might do is just take out all the rocks..........

I agree with the block one side of a cave with a net method. Hopefully your fish wont back out and run away from the net. My Blackbelt fears my net and shoves away my hand trying to get the bastard into the damn net. However if u have a very large array of rocks the only way is to take most of em out.
