Aquariums: How the hell you catch ember tetra in a heavily planted tank?
I just find it ridiculously difficult
Tried night scoop method and failed !
What to do? I really wish to rehome them !

In my experience the night time shock helps me catch feisty fish that aren’t bottom dwellers. Wait until it’s late at night when all the lights have been off for hours, then quickly locate the fish and scoop it out before it has fully woken up

Mine always get curious about the net, I hold it as still as I can then do my best viper impression with the net, works like 8/10 times

I use an 8 inch net for catching big schools of tetras. Wait until they are in the left or right front corner and slowly put the net in the water behind them. It’s all about angles. If you have a school they should follow each other into the net if you go slow enough and trap them. I usually catch all but one or two and those will be hard. Then I use the two net method and use a smaller net to chase them into the bigger one.
