Really? that's great to hear, I wasn't sure if there was any reason to wait.

Any tips on exactly how to transfer them?

some prefer to not use a net. i'm fine with any method that doesn't chase the fish to extremes. i scoop and dump, then give then try and give the fish some quiet time. heathy fish can handle a good deal of abuse. i try and make it quick and painless. get in ,get out ,and let them recover in peace.

I'd catch clowns after lights go out

Well I put the clowns are in on Saturday and they appear to be doing fine. Mr. Watchman Goby unfortunately did not cooperate,too quick and too many hiding places; so I built a fish trap and what do I find this morning? Mr Watchman Goby. I love being smarter than a fish
