How to handle ‘bully fish’

Fish that are too boisterous and are inclined to throw their weight about can be ‘stood in the corner’ by being imprisoned in a small container or jar. The water for the jar must be taken from the aquarium itself. If the jar is only two-thirds full, it will float safely in the aquarium and maintain its temperature. The top should be covered to prevent the fish from jumping out. After 12 – 24 hours, it could be released.

What a way to teach the ‘naughty fish’ a lesson!


How to catch fish

Once in a while, for whatever reasons, we need to ‘catch’ a certain fish in the aquarium. How should we do it without ruining the plants and general appearance of the aquarium? The answer is - just chase the fish into the net!

Firstly, we can use a ruler or another small net to drive the fish into the main net.The main net is held in a good position so that it can be quickly pulled upwards and not forward as the fish will prove to be too quick for this. This way, we will not mess up the whole aquarium chasing the elusive creature all round the aquarium.
