Mikaila if your a ninja at this skill then im a sumo wrestler lol I dont want to do it fast because Im afraid to give them heart attacks because they might think that the net is a scary monster fish thats gonna eat them!!

I'm not sure this would work for you - but I found a home for my danios, and they are very fast, but had to get them out of the tank, and also have plants I didn't want pulled up. They were always ready at the top to eat, so I had a large container, already half in the tank and put food on top, they swarmed for it, and I scooped a couple up each time that way. Try it! If it's not an aggressive eater, than it may not work.

thank you for the tip! there is only one problem though shes not eating anything :[ thats why I want to put her in the hospital tank to see if I can give her this medication I got. She is very smart that she is.

when I come 5 feet close to the aquarium she comes close to the glass and I guess she recognizes me then she runs back to her little refuge hide-out. She peeks out once in a while and when Im gone she comes out to the side. The others dont really care because they know that Im not after them.
