thank you so much for this video, just last night I struggled to catch my 4 endlers for about 20 mins. They all made it to their new much larger home, wish I had seen this before last night haha
Hey Jason I'm just curious, is it not a bad idea to pour water (with fish) from a quarantine tank into a display? love your videos, thanks for the tip.
Great question. If the fish have passed through QT, the QT tank should also be ok. That being said, if you want to take the water from the tank they’re going into that is not a bad idea either.
Perfect timing! I’m getting ready to move house with fish in buckets so lots of catching in the near future. If anyone has additional tips for catching kuhli loaches I’m all ears…
I am horrible at catching fish - I'm going to try this 2 net method. The mollies in particular outsmart me most of the time! I need to get panda corys out of my 60 gallon, which has a big ol' driftwood construction in the middle. I really don't want to take it down but I think I'm going to have to.... Well, I wanted to add some new plants anyway, that's a good excuse, right? ;)
Come on jason uma teach u something here for a change, 1 net, i used to do it hard and fast but found sneaking up behind real slow guiding them to the corner or glass then slowly raising them to the top boom done less stress on the fish 😂😂 awesome video sir
This is great timing I’m just about to have to catch 23 baby jewel cichlids that are 1-1.5 inches. I would have separated them smaller but I’ve read story’s about males attacking the females if they get takin out to early I guess thinking they’d been eaten😂
I strip out all stuff out from my wcmm's 35 gallon. Then hose out water to about 3 inches deep. Catch them in a net, including the fries. Then remove the fake grass - so many babies hide in there. Clean everything with VERY DILUTED bleach, rinse and put it all back. Takes me about 5-6 hours. (I do like a job well done) This gives me a chance to remove all those horrid bladder snails too. P.S. My local Maidenhead Aquatics was more than gratefull to receive about 50-60 fries, free of charge.
🥺🐟I believe my Beta has NITRATE poisoning while I was in Hospital . I have set up a small 1 gallon quarantine tank all the water levels are great now . He is just not eat or swimming , just laying at the bottom kinda slopped to the side but doesn't swim sideways . Also color is not good . Should I add some aquarium salt and how much for 1 gallon and should I do anything else ? ps . No signs of fin rott or any visible signs of anything else . Hope to hear back from you Thanks 👋
wish i had seen the 2 net way when i started in the hobby, remember trying to catch 2 danios in a 32gallon tank, gave up about 3 times i got so mad lol
Fish herding is one of those things that pit the fishes escape instinct against our determination to catch them. It can be easy or difficult...depending on the catch method. I am a big proponent of draining down the tank in order to make their capture easier. I do think that kuhli loaches have the monopoly on escapability though.
I remember what a nightmare it was catching small community fish out of my 400G. I wonder I could've just replicated your method with really big nets lol. I had to drain down the whole thing first.

I dunno if it's just me, but I love the Bubbling sounds of Air Driven Filters. It gives the Fish tank more vibe.
I’m the complete opposite. I hate the sound lol. That’s why I always use HOBS or get a tank with built in filtration.
Always appreciate when you share 'tricks of the trade' with your viewers. 😊
Thank you!
When I owned an aquarium store I always used two nets. I'm always surprised to see stores using one which I think stresses out the fish more.
I agree!
Thanks! Always struggling with catching little rasboras and tetras out of my quarantine tank. This method looks promising 👍
Hope it works well for you!
Thanks for the tips!

Great tips and I love them in the new tank.
Hi will fancy goldfish eat lace fern/water sprite and blue stricta (hygrophila corymbosa)?
Quite possibly!
Thanks for helpful tips 😮

Good stuff -- thanks!!!
Not gonna lie, this was such a good video. I learned something
Thanks bud 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Tried to catch zebra danios .... I've got grey hair now
I've also used my hand to gently push the fish into the net. I feel I have better control that way. But same concept.

Every net I find in pet stores has a closely woven net. Makes it hard to move the net around.
You had to post this a day after I was trying to catch zebra danios to transfer to a different tank 💀
Using as big a net as possible, while not losing general maneuverability is key. I spent too many years using small nets.

Usually nitrate poisoning doesn’t happen until nitrate concentrations are in the 100s of ppm? If water quality is ok now I wouldn’t add anything.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics That's OK, he passed away anyway . Don't know what happen cause everyone else is fine .🥺 Thank you for responding.👍 😊
@@scorpio663I don't know how long betas live but it could be just old age?
wish i had seen the 2 net way when i started in the hobby, remember trying to catch 2 danios in a 32gallon tank, gave up about 3 times i got so mad lol
Nice technique. I give them some floating food and when they come up to eat I get them that way...
I've got 3 lime green endler males that are escape artists🙄
I like using a clear container instead of a net.

What fish can I put in my community tank with 3 Platys, 3 guppies, 3 paradise fish and 2 female bettas?
Depends on the size of the tank.
20 gallon
@@PrimeTimeAquatics 20 gallon
20 gallon
Yes
Sup prime time
Wish my brain worked to use 2 nets. I always end up wanting one to move but the other will move😂
Add chewing gum to the mix too! Haha
Same here.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics played baseball so sweeping movements come easy with the left. Right had wants to go top speed dragster through the water
What fish can Live with a male Betta?

It's lightweight too. Perfect for a wheelchair user.
Yes!

That’s not cool!
