Try and catch another fish. I can catch any fish except the one I'm trying to catch. Seriously, sometime the net with food in it works.

Hook and mysis. Or use a fish trap and put live brine in it. May have to feed fish in it to get them used to it.

+1 on fish trap, but be prepared - fish are smarter than you think whenever it comes time to catch them

your tank is only 55G. thats easy. remove half of tank contents and wrangle to one side, block off the other side of the tank. 30 minute operation.

I have a 55. Easy, 30 min I don't think so Timmy. I had a blue fin damsel. Tried the hook scene. If you don't get em first try forget about it. Won't go near it again. I took a juice container. The rectangle ones w a big mouth. Cut it off at the top where it starts to narrow. Reversed it into bottle and zip tied. Cut a hole in side so when layed flat I could add food. Had a fish line tie to it long enough to hold on the couch. I was funny when I was putting it in my Girlfriend asked how long would it take. My reply was could be weeks. Stupid Glubber went right in. Start to finish from the time the trap went in.... no more than 1 minute. Unbelievable wasn't even baited yet
