Here is my plan...
As some of you know, I've been trying to eradicate a pesky tomato clown from my tank. He's gone a long time without food now as I'm feeding from the net. All my other fish eat from the net, except for a solar wrasse, which I can hand feed. Suffice it to say, the net trick isn't working.
Plan "B". Quickly drain the entire tank down to sand and dismantle whatever I need to in order to stick a fork in the little monster. Rebuild and fill tank back up quickly. Now, if anybody can think of why I shouldn't do this, please speak up!! Thanks! P.S. I'm not really going to use a fork (I don't think) |

there might be another way.. if you take a mag drive 24, and put a hose on the suction end that you can move around and have the discharge going back to the tank you might be able to suck him out of the tank :D :D something like a binford gravel cleaner ;)

And if he makes it all the way through the mag you wont have to feed your fish for a few days. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Brad, I tore down half the rock work in my 72gal and divided the tank with a sheet of plexi to get out a dwarf angel. It was a lot of work but it did work.
Good luck. |

I like the gravel vac idea the best. I'm hoping he will follow the water and therefore I'll create a depression at the front of the tank. I'll keep doing the net thing until Sunday....if it doesn't get him, Sunday is "Plan B".

Shane was saying when he had to catch fish, he added dividers untill the fish was at the end of the tank.. if u could to that, you could move minimal rock and pull it off without any risks..

I'm hoping to get him to the front of the tank when I drain it. That way I wan't have to move any rock. There are a lot of little passageways in there, so if he goes to the back, I'll get the little one in there to grab him :-)

A month ago I caught all of the fish in my tank without moving a sinble piece of rock. I have this little poker that I made with rigid airline tubing. I came downstairs to the tank that 3am when they were sleeping. And I used the poker to sort of herd them into the net. It took me all of 10 minutes to catch 7 fish. Another way is to get a whole buch of grocery bags and stuff all the holes in your rockwork so that the clown has no where to go. Good luck..
