help gettin firefish out of tank

[supernareg]

so my firefish BARELY comes out now, but goes back in its hiding hole under a piece of LR (base rock) so there's no way i can lift the rock and get out. i tried coaxing it out with food but as soon as the net was in the water the fish flew in the whole regardless.


should i hold the net infront of the whole, stick my finger in under the sand from the back and push it out into the net? i gotta get it out !!!!!

you'll save yourself a lot of time if you just drain your tank down to about an inch or two(after removing the LR) and scoop him out.

lol i cant remove LR. thats not happening. i'd rather it be eaten than me go through all that trouble.

 

[supernareg]

any other ways plz?? need to get it out

just chase him into the rock and then take that rock out of the tank with him in it and place the rock in a 5g bucket, he'll come out and once he does, you just remove the rock, thats how i got mine out, remove the rock to the bucket fast so he doesnt find his way onto the floor of the room, why are you removing him, pm me, i'll take him off your hands, i'll help you catch him to
