    You can get 2 cleaners in the tank. It would be better if they were a matched pair. I wouldn't get the pistol. It could turn the cleaners into an expensive lunch.

    selling is no problem. Problem is catching it. Any idea how I can catch it?

    Try a bristle worm trap. Or a pop bottle fish trap.
