I've caught & moved many fish by hand. Sometimes I would net them and
hold the net horizontal underwater (with the frame out). I would by-hand
flip them around, inspect them and if ok, cradle them in my palm to the
fish bag. My wet skin is far less abrasive than a net, reducing the
incidence of Ich, by preserving their slime coat.

===================================
My problem is dropping them when they start to struggle. Fish are so
slimy. I'm paranoid about handling the water-bubble-eye goldfish. I was
told they can break the bubbles whether hand or net caught,.... and I'll
soon have several I have to move into the larger tank. I think I'll try
and scoot them into a bowl and move them water and all.

What is the best and safest way to move these goldfish?

Submerge a milk or juice container into the tank, coral the fish into it,
lift container at 45 degree angle and move to new location.
