Does floating a bag with two poked holes in it count?

I got the biggest critter keeper from petsmart and made a bunch of holes in it using a sodering iron. I then attach it near the top portion of the water by zip tying it to the steel braces that run arcoss.

I built mine with extra screen from the diy lids and egg crate for structure. I keep it around for acclimating larger fish or pairs which might need some extra space.

Wish I hadn't let him out, works great as an acclimation box, but will not work as a fish trap. A black sheet of lexan for the bottom would have been a nice touch.
