[feixjai]

can someone please help? i need help catching my yellow tang. it is in my 24 gallon nano. well dont flame me just yet, i got it when it was a baby and was really sick so i decided to get him and bring him back to life. well it is gotten a little big for my tank and i need help getting it out. i am going to give it to another fish store, one that i trust and go everytime. well my tank has 30lbs of live rock with coral and i dont want to tear down my rock work. how would you get him out of there?

I have found the best time to get fish out is when you feed them because they aren't usually paying attention and you can bait them to your net, but you really only got one shot. If you can't get him right away then wait awhile otherwise you will never get him. I had a damsel that I couldn't get out of my tank and I tried for 1 hour to get him out getting more frustrated, then for the next 3 weeks anytime I came near the tank he hid. I've gotten a couple through feeding, but this guy I actually got out the way tallen4392 said at night when he was sleeping (do fish sleep?) well at least when he was oscillating and not expecting it.
