LF : fish trap............victoria
 
Help!...lol

I need a fish trap, like the aqua medical ones.

I have tried a few various methods of making my own trap and so far have been unable to lure the fish even close to those traps.

I have a 2" flame angel that has decided to start nipping.

Anyone have a trap for sale or rent?
Thanks

Ya, I've got one. Easier to drain tank though, IMO :) I'll leave it at Safari for you.

Your little turtle sig would make a cool tattoo. Stealing it.

But to stay on track, Jon, heading to safari in 10 min, will leave it with Japarto for you. Keep it as long as you like, or pass along, I don't need it.

don.ald 07-27-2013 03:15 PM

Yeah, go for it!

reeferfulton 07-27-2013 03:23 PM

Wow. Should have done this before.
Thanks for the help guys.

Brad I will stop by japarto's this afternoon and grab that thanks.
I will give it a go for the week. Then if that fails..........then I will have to remove rock....argh!!!

Thanks don.ald if brad's trap is cursed lol then maybe i will try yours too lol.

Aquattro 07-27-2013 03:32 PM

I wouldn't remove rock, just the water. It's easy, takes me 20 minutes with my tank.

reeferfulton 07-28-2013 02:03 AM

Ok so far lol.

I could have caught the following.

Yellow tang..20 times at least
Sailfin 4 times
Shrimp 2 times
Blenny 2 times
Sailfin and yellow together 2 times

Flame angel.......0 times

Aquattro 07-28-2013 02:43 AM

Sounds about right. Drain the tank, pick up fish, put water back. Easy. :)

reeferfulton 07-29-2013 11:57 PM

yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111l ol:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:



well I GOT HIM.

I stuck one of those new life algae rings in there and finally his curiosity got the best of him. I had to wait 2 hrs but he finally poked his head in and bam i yanked on the fishing line so fast i could hear the door slam shut !!

i yelled out i was so happy

Want to say thanks BRAD !! for lending me the trap ..
and thanks Don.ald for the offer.

If anyone ever needs to catch a tang this thing could have caught both at the same lol.

i am so happy , I have been cutting down on my feeding . to reduce nutrients in the water . And this damn angel decided to go hardcore on some of my corals lately . i needed him out bad
