Trapped Wrasse

[Streetlamp]

I was doing some maintenance on my tank last night and noticed a splash. I looked for a carpet surfing fish but couldn't find any escapees. I noticed my timor wrasse was missing but assumed she had burried herself. This morning there was still no sign of her. I cecked the rear section of my AIO and spotted her.

Can anyone recommend a way to draw her up into the section so that she can be netted. She keeps hiding under the next section?

Small net with long handle. Or just keep her there till she jumps back into the tank.

Shut off the pump, suck out the water into a bucket, then just using a net with a long handle, scoop her up. When netted, just dump the water back in.

Had to do that many times on my biocube as I had a dottyback that always jumped back there.

Thanks, I'll try those. I need to find a way to block off the hidey area.

Got her, now safely back in the DT
