It’s an orbiculate baitfish. Currently 4-5” top to bottom. I do want to keep the tang, but I do not want to catch him out constantly. I have three to four more large fish I want to add in 2-3 phases. That would mean a lot of catching, which is a HUGE pain, as you note. So I was going to see what alternative people used in introducing new fish. Cutting off a third of the tank seems to work, but the trap door needs to be improved.
