The trap will only catch them if you can get them in there. Putting food in it will lure them in.

i've read an article that it may be easier to just get a big rubber maid garbage can (wash cleanly) n drain the tank with a pump to about few inches. then u can have your way with the fishes. then pump the water back in.
