    Find a really tiny car for them to pile in to. Or you could rig up some kind of trap out of a coke bottle or something.
    So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...

      Academy has a minow trap for under $10
      'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
      He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

          get a 2 or 3 liter soda bottle.

          cut the top off just below where it gets full diameter
          turn the top upside down and stick it in.

          put some of the fish's favorite food inside.

          place in tank and wait

          fish will swim in, and not be able to find their way out again.

          take trap and fish out, pull top off and release into new tank.

              If they all hide together under a particular ornament then you can use a clear container to put over the ornament, and a piece of clear plastic or glass (no sharp edges!) to slide uner the ornament with fishes still inside.  remove entire thing.

              the coke bottle trap sounds neat though!  :)
