Thought this would get a laugh.
So, Last night I decided to try to catch my damsel to move him to the 90. I moved the clown and cardinal a few days ago but had no luck moving the damsel. So I figured I would try again.
I knew that the standard netting wouldnt work. So. I moved all the rock to one side of the tank and tried to get him to the other side. No luck
I then decided I would use a large, clean, plastic cutting board to try to trap him on the side without rocks. Success! I got him on that side. So we tried netting him and he darted through the handle hole on the board and back under the rocks.
So, strategy #3 begins. I got a new, clean baking sheet and tried the same process again. I blocked half the tank, moved all the rock to the other side of the tank AGAIN. I think I finally did it. He is trapped on that side, with no hiding spots! Sweet. Nope, He outsmarted us again. he went over the top of the sheet, in the inch of water that was above the sheet and hid under the rocks again.
At this point, I gave up because I was going to either stress him too much, but more then likely, stress myself too much.
Any good suggestions? My wife read about using a empty juice or soda container, putting food in it and waiting till he goes for it then inverting it. Sounds like it might work.
Figured I would post this because, although I didn't think so last night, It is humorous.
