Hi, I have a green chormis stuck in my over flow section of my 65 gal tank. I have tried to net the little guy/girl but can't catch it.

They don't cost much and I think the net cost about as much as a new fish, but I would like to try and catch it.

Anyone have any idea how to catch the little guy/gal?

Thanks,

JC

could use your hand, would be able to trap him a little bit better. Usually works for me :P

glog the overflow, then unclog it and pull it from the sump.

You pull the durso pipe and let him flow down to the sump, or if he doesn't go down with the water he will be in a shallow puddle where you can net him in the bottom of the overflow.

I am siphoning out the water and will use a small net or my hand. My son just caught him. The fish seems out of it.

Thank you for your suggestions.
