    Ok, try to stop up the hole. Then net catch. I breed guppies and I hope your babies are not that small, it would take me a year to catch all of them!

    I used to have a fish tank where I lived and the fish guy who cleaned out the tank had a large bin like a trash can filled with water and he'd bag the fish, put them in there while he cleaned and put them back. Not sure if that helped cuz I really don't know types of fish well enough but it's an idea
