Well, used the fish in a vase trap technique, and caught 2 in under an hour. It seems they like the sole!
These suckers are incredibly fast swimmers and I can see how they can easily catch a ride on a fish.
They're also very ugly. Watched one under the scope for a while. One concern I have is one of the ones I caught was very tiny, so I'm scared that a female has hatched her brood pouch. However, if they are attracted to the bait, I'm hopefully I can trap and remove them.
They seem to just attach to the edges of the fish' fins, not bore into their tissue as some isopods are reported to do, so I hope I can trap them all before any damage is done to the fish.
