    I once caught a clownfish by keeping the net hanging in the tank for a couple days then I dropped some food in that area and I snatched him up.

    Get a fish trap. Otherwise you'll likely have to take out all your rocks. And in a 125, that will be no small task (believe me, I know).

    Hook and bait ;) As long as you dont have other fish I guess.. Otherwise the food in the net trick is a good one.

    Yeah i tore my tank apart trying to catch my pistol shrimp... I had to return him; he was mean. Luckily nothing died and no spikes.
