I put the net in the tank in the morning and go to work. Then I come home and feed into the net, next you just have to root out the ones you want from the ones you caught.

the only concern I would have with putting the net in the tank and leaving would be catching the wrong fish early in the day and it being unable to get out, getting stuck and dying.....my rabbitfish went into a net that fell into the tank and was stuck...luckily we were home and "rescued" it! Pretty freaked out!

We caught a clownfish with a small barbless hook...was a bit fun too! Could've caught many of the other fish but took a long time to catch this fish...of course you never get the intended fish always the ones you don't want to catch

Well, one is caught, I put a 2L coke bottle into the tank, went to school then came home and put some food in, then eventually caught it, still working on the other one.
Thanks for the input,
Kris

I like two people each using two nets in the tank at the same time - each should have one smaller net and one bigger net. It may help to rearrange your live rock to give you more of an advantage when using your nets.

KingEdPet has a trap, and if you are nice to Kathy she will rent it to you for 5$ with refunable deposit.
