Errr, well remove the rotting material and get more light?

What kind of answer were you expecting?

Your nitrites are high as well, you should concentrate on that first I would suggest.

What sort of a net are you using?

If you can't use a net, you could use a cup or a turkey baster and a cup. That way you could just suck them up.

What type of plant is it, by the way?
