Hey Evan.. the fish at the store you are talking about died. I remember one day I came in and it was super sick and I asked Colby to euthanize it... I never saw it again after that. I love the Sohal I bought from Colby he is just a prick though

The tuna is this fish...



Another with her injuries from bashing around in the trap... poor thing.

She's off the Golds as soon as I figure out how to get her out of the 90g...

This is the link for the fish trap

http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=82

My buddy put tie straps around mine when he borrowed it so it could be hung with sticks to make it higher. My tangs all went into the trap to eat. I put their nori clip and pellets in there and they seemed to love to go inside. My picasso trigger LOVED the trap and spent most of his time in there.

I found with my rabbitfish she stayed down low under the rock work and in caves. This fish never came out to be close to the surface of my tank. The foxface is the same way. The trap is out for now, since I have no need to remove anyone else at this point. I do know my sohal tang would be an easy catch if I do decide he needs to go to a new home.

I had the trap in the tank for about three days and did all the feeding from inside of it. It was a bit of a pain to do, but was worth it in the end. It takes awhile for the fish to trust it (aside if the trigger), and once one or two fish go in, the others are soon to follow. I guess all fish are different due to personalities, and some will be easier then others. My banana and aussie wrasses did not have any interest in the trap what so ever, nor did the chromis, but they swim much higher then the others do.

Now I have to figure out how to get the rabbitfish out of the 90g since I don't have a net nearly large enough, and with the bracing on top, I cannot fit a pail into it. Since this fish is so darned big, I am sure it might be an interesting emergency room story if things don't go well. I feel so bad for her, and almost want to put her in my display again.
You should have no problem catching the Kole tang at all in a couple of days. They are always driven by hunger so there so be no issues. Once they see there is food in there and no other source they will readily go in there. Just give them a day or two to feed out of it so they won't be so cautious of going into it anymore.

I am going to call Colby and see if he wants to take the rabbitfish, a tomato clown and two yellow tailed damsels shortly. Is that big tank ready to go since the rabbitfish needs some space. I managed to get everybody in a pail right now, so I'm leaving pretty quickly.

the big tank doesnt have light on it as far as i know,
but it definitely should hold your rabbit as its nice and big, and theres about 9 or 10 fish in the same system that look absolutely fine.

and by system i mean in the tanks below that are connected, not in the big tank. there isnt any fish in the big tank at the moment
