Catching a Fish

[thanhjenn]

Have a bicolor tang I want to catch but he/she is tooooo fast. Don't really want to tear down my reef tank for a fish. Any suggestions? Or if you have a way to catch it without destroying my tank you can have him.

You might have to trap her.

Please elaborate

you can buy a trap ot you can make one out of a 2litre pop bottle.

take the label off, rinse well, then on the bottom cut along the lines that make a star.
theory being fish can get in, but cant get out.
no guarantee you get the right fish though lol

hope this helps, or just google "fish trap"

good luck.

you can also block off its hiding places with eggcrate or pieces of acrylic just lay sheets over its hiding places untill it has no where to run to

I bought this http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...t_ID=am-trap00 to get my koran angel out of my tank that started to eat stuff. Worked wonders, Just put it in and leave it for 2 days, if you have a mag float use that to hold the trap suspended in the tank off the sand bed, and then after 2 days put a bit of frozen food in their so it takes some time to release pieces but releases a bit so the fish can smell it and have to swim in the trap to get some food.

Or for a tang just put a piece of nori in there wrapped around something so it does not come out and the tang should go in their pretty quick.

Hope this helps
