I have used the large jar for catching large plecos so they wouldn't tear up
my nets. The other way I used to catch my corys when they were too small for
the net and too large for the air line tubing was using a larger tubing of
approximately 1/2" and siphoning them into a bucket while controlling the
suction by keeping one finger over the end going into the bucket. I would
place the tubing over the fry and move my finger from the end just a little.
Just enough so that when the fry reached the end I wouldn't squash them with
my finger or plaster them against the container with too strong a spray.

Just another idea for apistos.
