Anyone have a fish trap I could borrow - Calgary

Thanks for the fish catching tecnique! I was just trying to figure out how to get a sick fish out of my tank without tearing it apart. I am hoping it works!

Eventually the wrasse will wonder in, when he does run up to the tank and tap the glass which will scar him back further into the net. Turn the net handle so to trap it against the glass, pull out net and fish

Worked for me every time, might take a day or two but I caught wrasses, tangs, and angles. The wrasse was the easiest. A fish trap won't any better.

Sphelps, thank you so much for this suggestion! I had to grab a bigger net, in the tank for less than an hour and out he came. He's in the sump now and looking pretty PO'd, luckily he has a home to go to......

Wool hooo, so happy!!
