When I in september moved the fish from the pond to the indoor tank I cought them using fish net and a bucket. That seemed to be too stressfull for them. Especially for Apelsin who got a little shy after the move. So I will try another approuch to transport them back to the pond in the spring 2022.
Hopefully I can use the same technic when moving them back inside next autumn.
I need to train them!
This is the plan:
All 4 fish will volutary svim into a bucket which is tilted and partly submeged in the water tank. I can tilt the bucket in upright position, put on a lid and carry them all to the pond. Stress free!
My approuch is teaching them with help of "Positive Reinforcment". I will try to "shape" their behavour by using reward.
Food (reward) will be given when they are closer to my goal then they were the previous time they was rewarded. I will at first work with the fish colsest to the bucket. And hope for the others to follow. Maybe the first into the bucket have to wait for the next/last one, so patience needs to be learned.
Maybe I will try to familierize them to the lid before using it together with the bucket.
I don't know how long time this will take. Maybe 2 weeks? We'll see.
