I made a dumb mistake.....

so i had a stunning 29gal planted going on for a few months or so, and some of the sediment from my soil bed began to accumulate on the bottom of the tank gravel and i was like alright thats fine nothing is harming it. but then i made the dumb mistake of adding 5 cory cats who have now rustled up that sediment into my water and it wont settle and my canister filter cant keep up worth crap. so im foreseeing that i'll probably have to perform the third overhall of this tank (third time's the charm eh.) my dilema is how the heck do i catch this cory cats again so i can fix the tank. the tank has 2 giant amazon swords in it so it's quite frankly impossible to try and net them because i cant get around the leaves fast enough and i cant see in the dam murky water! lol. any body know of like a way to trap them or something else?

hit me up!

Lol this trick helped me catch my yoyo loach. And I have a heavily planted 55g so wat u need is 2 nets 1 sorta big net and another small net. So u position the big net in an open space or sorta open. Here is we're the little me comes into play, you are goin to chase/ scare the Cory's into the big net with the second smaller net. U don't move big net only use te small 1 to chase them into the big net. Like hearding cows into their pens

If you haven't been doing weekly water changes, this is what happens. If you want to keep your corydoras I would start with 40% weekly water changes

Hello ....... Yes , the best way is to use two nets - that is the way I do it and a lot of the time they will swim right into the second net /// good luck !!!!
