yeah for sure. I really like the cheesecloth idea.... but I'm not wild about it with a tang
You know, I hadn't considered the tang factor...
For a fish with no scales, or if fins are spiny or something (I have no experience with tangs...) the cheesecloth may not be a good idea.
BUT...you could also use visquine (trash bag material), and let water flow out into a bucket/tub as you lift the fish out of the water. Messier...probably.
I initially thought cheesecloth because it doesn't really have "holes" like a net would have, but I don't really know if something could easily get caught in it...
It seems like slowly dumping it in after water acclimatization would be the ideal method, followed by some kind of "lift and drain" method maybe if you have to do it by yourself.
I like small fish :Big Hair:
