Gatorade bottle, some fishing line and some fish food. Tie the fishing line to the bottom of the rim on the top. Allow enough string to hang out of the tank to pull it out with. Put some fish food in the bottle while its dry then slowly fill it almost all the way to the top. Let the food settle for a minute. Then fill the rest of the way up. Then place the bottle on the sand on its side. Might need to put a small rock on top to hold it down. Eventually they will figure out how to get the food and when they go in just pull the bottle straight up. I find its best to let them go in and out a few times so they get comfortable. Might take a couple days to get them all. Thats how I catch all my fish. So much easier than moving all my rock.
