I have never been able to catch a fish in the net. As its been said... it tends to get snagged on the rock and/or my fish just are too smart.

I have been very successful at catching my fish in the wee hours of the morning. When the lights have been off and the fish are resting.

But even then... I can only catch them with a clear container of some kind and LOTS of patience.

I did have two clarkii fish. They used to always swim and stay together. I noticed the one fish getting bigger while the other grew very slowly. The bigger Clarkie turned on the little Clarkii... beat it up badly.. bite marks all over. The little Clarkii couldn't fight back. I had to take it out of the tank. Made my 10 gallon hospital tank into the little Clarkii's reef tank.

It was the only time the fish jumped into my hands... to help him out of the tank.
