catching 6 line
my 6 line was definitely mean but had a change of attitude after doing some carpet surfing and being ressurrected with some CPR. Hes more mellow now since then.
as far as catching him is concerned...... good luck

My sixline is so curious that when I go fishing for other fish in my tank he is the first to be traped or hooked. They can really hide in rocks so going after them with a net is out of the question.

My sixline was a bastard! He attacked anyone new (even after changing the rocks) and sometimes turned on fish that were in the system before he came along. Then the heater broke and killed off everything (or so I thought). After taking out most of the water and running carbon for two weeks I filled the tank back up and....he was still alive!
Now he doesn't even pick on my anthias. I think every sixline needs a near death experience in order to calm down.

Well .. I learned a couple things tonight:
1) It's really hard to feed a piece of mysis onto an itty bitty (1/8") hook. 2) The battery's going in my watch apparently, because while I thought I had 15 minutes before lights-out on the tank, just as I got the mysis onto the hook the lights went out. 3) I have a bad feeling I'm going to catch my hawkfish first. In fact, I did kinda catch him once already. He ate the mysis off the hook before I could "shoo!" him away from it. (It was the second piece of mysis I put on the hook before the lights went out.) Attempt #2 goes tomorrow.. I tried a pop bottle fish trap. Gonna guess that holds not a lot of promise, as soon as the feed mode was off it was just bouncing all over the place in the current despite that I tried to anchor it down. And the second problem with the trap idea is that all the mysis sits on the bottom of it, where the fish won't see it.
