To Catch a Molly.

[Hugh Mann]

Yet another thread on catching a fish! Long story short, I had six mollies in my display. I took five out because they were bullying the other fish. I could not catch the last one, wiley bugger.

Anyways, it's been several weeks, and this poor Molly is getting beat to heck. Torn fins, scratches, looks like it may have broken out with mild ich (managed tank). I'd love to get this fellow out to rejoin its companions in a freshwater system, but don't want to tear down my rockscape.

Suggestions to use my overdeveloped monkey brain to outsmart this tiny fish brain?

Sometimes hunted fish sleep near the surface. Use a flash light when light been out for some hours and try to locate the fish. With a net you can have one or two try to catch it during the time it is chocked of the light.

Mollies are smallish. While sleeping, large diameter hose, siphon him out.

Somehow, that never occurred to me. This one totally does sleep close to the surface. I'll have to catch it tonight. Thanks.
