Is there a simply way of catching baby plecos? I've tried netting them without any luck.
Like PFG says "I miss this place and all the people associated with it."

Piece of veggie in some sort of trap maybe?

I know this old now but I saw a neat little live trap it consist of taking a 2 litre bottle and cutting off the top a the first ridge line and inverting it back inside itself, put some veggies in it and they swim in but have a hard time getting out :)

hope it helps next time.

Basically look at the minnow traps that they sell at Walmart(sorry just using them as an example) and construct a smaller version using any appropriate size of bottle. Don't forget to bait like any good fisherman :-\.
