What kind of plumbing do you have? I assume he is going over the overflow and down the drain pipe?

A few dabs of super glue and glue a piece of plastic cut to fit the top of the overflow.

It's really pretty simple, I have it there to keep an eel from going in. You just take a piece of plastic, doesn't have to be that thick, just thick enough to maintain shape. Cut it to fit your overflow, around pipe fittings or whatever. Tight enough all around so he can't jump in. Put a drop of superglue every inch or so, and voila. I got a piece of plastic from hobby lobby, but you might have something laying around the house that will do fine.

I have larger fish. You can use small hole netting/screen material. Just zip tie it to your overflow teeth.

I'll try it when I get the stuff

Unless he is small enough to fit through the slots of course.
