Wrasse - 3
Me - 0

I almost hooked him on Saturday, but it didn't take. Anyhow, he's now so completely suspicious of the rock, whereas the others have all completely associated it with "tasty mysis treat on a string" that it's more or less a doomed endeavour now.

It'd probably be easier if my CBB and flame hawks in particular weren't such mysis fiends. My tang, he's not so much into the mysis per se, but he's so in tuned to "the hand brings food" notion that he's chomping at the rock I use for a line weight as soon as it breaks surface.

As for the feeding frenzy ... it might work but the wrasse is so much in perpetual motion that he'd just go for the easy pickings of the frenzy instead of the one mysis hovering on a string.

He's very suspicious of the mysis that doesn't move whereas the others are all "Cool! A mysis that doesn't move!!". He comes up to it, eyes it, you can even sort of see him thinking "Something doesn't feel right about this. I'm outta here!" Whereas the others will happily gulp it down if given the chance.

Oh.. as for moving the rock he's in .. that might work, if I could get whatever rock he's in. He never sleeps in the same spot twice, and when he's not sleeping he'll just move from rock to rock. He is the most active swimmer I've got in there, just constantly on the go. Never stops for more than 1 second. It's like a toddler with ADD or something.

Oh well .. at the moment his aggression to the newcomer seems to be abating a little, so the urgency is coming off. I might try a wait and see approach, but I might also try a trap. We'll see what this week brings..
