              I guess the main problem will be scooping the fishes out into the new tank..... some of them can run really really fast

                Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

                      Take out all decor grab a big net that's the easiest way. If you're using a smaller net good luck hahah or get a piece of cloth that's big as the tank dimensions. Lay it on the bbottom of the tank and scoop up the fish exactly like the shrimping boats. Hahah I use to have to do it like that when I had 2 HUGE giant gourami. Since there wasnt a net big enough to fit the fish and fit in the tank.

                          1- put a sinking pellet in a net and rest it on the bottom.
