Catch a six line

you could train a mantis shrimp to stun the fish you want it to!

or just try a pop bottle trap. or if it gets really bad, a tiny hook and some mysis

I built a sweet ass fish trap out of acrylic. phillybean has it, so he better post pics! It worked to catch his angel, and his six line which is now in the tank at my work

Alrighty, simple enough set up that works quite well.

Trap door which is hooked up to fishing line. Once the fish swims in, drop the line. It also has a hole drilled in the top for food. Basically I put it in the tank, with the trap door held up by my mag float for a day. Then I use a turkey baster to insert some food. Then I wait...and don't leave for any snacks...and then I catch the fish

I'd have no issues with it, although I'm not sure if it's mine or nazerines.

I've been thinking about having Nazerine make them and then use the money to help fund our upcoming local club.

I caught a next to impossible Pygmy Angel and a very smart, angry Six Line with it with ease. Nearly caught both at the same time but I had to get some pretzels...the six line learned his lesson but forgot a few weeks later and I got him.
