Poo Poo head is totally behaving himself today. Don't know what the deal is. Bipolar fish? Again... If somebody can hook me up with some fish valium I think that will solve all the issues! Poo Poo face has no issues with the Tangs that were added at the same time as the Butterfly. And poo poo head was fine with the butterfly for the first... well up until the last 2 days.... ugh. Id say maybe ill leave a lid off and let him jump but knowing my luck he will chase everyone else out and he will once again be the only one left ;)
Gonna try my luck with the coris and hog and a few more anthias so they at least have a group.

I need a real fish trap. My timmies cup is only working for the new fish!
Thinking ill have to bait it with an open brain coral if I want to catch the butterfly.
Ive got a net above the mirror on the side of the tank for the melanurus....
They know my plan. Because i can catch just about everyone else no issue....

Get a proper fish trap and let it sit in your tank for a few days even a week keep throwing shrimp tied to a large Coral base so fish can only eat inside, let everyone go in and eat, once he sees all the fish go in and out eating and he is just sitting outside he will go in. Let him go in and eat all the time then bam game over!

It isn't hard, I've caught many fish that way, eventually they all submit, you are smarter than your fish.... I have also have a fish trap!

Hey I thought my make shift trap was pretty good :razz: I would have caught numerous fish with it today.... almost every fish but the 2 I wanted. The butterfly would sit and watch all the other fish go in the cup, but nope! He loves eating the frozen food that's made it too the ground in that corner so I thought for sure...

Yeah a real fish trap is probably a good idea. OR 2....

Richmond is 1 far away land to try and bug you to borrow a trap ;)

you know a flame angle or a coral beauty would make a nice addition.

What part of Vancouverland is the "slocan" area anyway?
Im gonna cross my fingers for somebody a little closer to start with. My schedule is packed right now not sure if ive got time to go anywhere. If j&l had them that would work too :(

It would be cool if the wrasse just scared the butterfly into my net. But nooooo.
