My 6 month dragonet fish
Stuck in overflow box since yesterday.

Does anyone know how to get my fish out?

Turn off pump to stop flow and using a 2” brine shrimp net, scoop it up.
 
ok, let me try
 
What I do is to remove the pipe and strainer from my overflow(I have a center intank tower style overflow), open the gate valve on the siphon line, then shut off the pump. Anything in the overflow gets flushed down into the sump where a filter socks awaits. Simple and easy to catch any fish in my overflow.
