Are you serious?! Wouldn't there be a danger of breaking the glass? How many bolts did you send through the water 'til you got him?

I never thought about the glass, it was a wooden chopstick that I sharpened, baked over the stove and then sharpened again. I don't think it would have broken the glass.

I don't know how many times I missed, lots, maybe 20 times. When I finally got it I really nailed it though. Beat the hell out of moving 50 pounds of rock around too.

Interesting idea. I guess if you get desperate and there was no other way..

At this point I'd rather just take the fish out (and put him in a different tank) rather than have him .. um ... "taken out" as it were.

You'd have to be one hell of a shot to get this sixline anyhow. Man he is the fastest most active swimmer I've ever had.

I thought the aggression he was showing the newcomer had abated, but I got a good look at her fins earlier, and there are some definite bitemarks. That little brat is coming out, so I'll be hunting down that trap (or trying the hook idea again in a few days, I'm going to give the hook idea a rest for now though).
