Do the bottle fish traps work?

Hello
I have a female endlers livebearer in a 30 gallon planted tank which I want to transfer to a 55 gallon but can not net her, she darts into the plants .

I was going to buy a fish trap but read about the bottle trap.

Any tips on using it?

I use it for shrimp and it works. Be careful about the food you leave in the bottle because it can cloud the water and potentially kill the fish that's trapped.

For shrimp, I usually just leave a small portion of a pellet in the bottle. I also tie a string the bottle so I don't have to put my whole arm in the tank.

Thanks I read this and did add a fishing line to it.
