parrdog Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 G'day All, I was just wondering what I should use to put down the middle of my tank to temporarily divide it when I'm catching holding females? Also, where is the best place to get the stuff you recommend? Thanks heaps, Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wui39 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 egg crate seems to work well. There was a thread as to where you could find the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6C1 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I Would have suggested two nets and setting one net as a trap to lure the holding fish with the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 How bout when trying to catch a female and trying not to wreck the rock work? Don't think theres an answer to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathoor Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I usually leave them in the dark for a couple of hours, then scoop them out using a net & a torch. They dont normally see the net coming. I've never had to remove any rock work or any other decorations at all. Regards William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 G'day Jamie You can use the base of a 'broken' bread crate or two or maybe three. This would be a much less expensive. Divide off the tank as you push her towards one area and then you don't have to pull so much of your rock work apart. cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
