I just got a 90 gallon used tank and it came with some fish I don’t want. What are your tricks to catching them? Do you get them right when you turn the lights on? Do you use a trap? I need suggestions as I’m going to sell one soon!!

The only things that have worked for me are a diy fish trap or emptying 90% of the water, removing all rocks, and netting it.
smarter than you or than u thought huh. LOL have had the same problems just sat there and stared at me like you must be stupid im not going in there. It works best to leave in therr for a few days and have a feed hole on top that you can feed threw and get them use to it so they don't see it as a big scary monster. But v a food source.I built a plexi trap to catch a grouper a few yrs back. Even with the trap it was tough. How it was designed I needed to pull a fishing line to drop a door. I baited it with shrimp, if I were near the glass he wouldn't go for the shrimp. I actually had to duck out of way to trap him.
Put him in a 5gal bucket to take to the lfs next day, woke up and he was dead. I was a newb and didn't realize I needed to prob put an airstone in there to move the water around.
I made something similar to catch a yellow tang.I built a plexi trap to catch a grouper a few yrs back. Even with the trap it was tough.

Thats almost exactly like mine, I only needed to use it the 1 time. Was easier than trying to get him out with netsI made something similar to catch a yellow tang.the yellow tang never went for it
