Stocking Input for the 150

[Coasting]

Trying to catch them both.
All i can seem to catch are the new guys i picked up. Damn....

I need a real fish trap. My timmies cup is only working for the new fish!
Thinking ill have to bait it with an open brain coral if I want to catch the butterfly.
Ive got a net above the mirror on the side of the tank for the melanurus....
They know my plan. Because i can catch just about everyone else no issue....

Get a proper fish trap and let it sit in your tank for a few days even a week keep throwing shrimp tied to a large Coral base so fish can only eat inside, let everyone go in and eat, once he sees all the fish go in and out eating and he is just sitting outside he will go in. Let him go in and eat all the time then bam game over!

It isn't hard, I've caught many fish that way, eventually they all submit, you are smarter than your fish.... I have also have a fish trap!

Hey I thought my make shift trap was pretty good I would have caught numerous fish with it today.... almost every fish but the 2 I wanted. The butterfly would sit and watch all the other fish go in the cup, but nope! He loves eating the frozen food that's made it too the ground in that corner so I thought for sure...

Yeah a real fish trap is probably a good idea. OR 2....

Richmond is 1 far away land to try and bug you to borrow a trap

you know a flame angle or a coral beauty would make a nice addition.

What part of Vancouverland is the "slocan" area anyway?
Im gonna cross my fingers for somebody a little closer to start with. My schedule is packed right now not sure if ive got time to go anywhere. If j&l had them that would work too

It would be cool if the wrasse just scared the butterfly into my net. But nooooo.

I hate when you lose new fish.
I am super embarrassed for my new fish right now.
I did my typical rush out in the morning and make sure all the new fish are still good.
Okay too early for the coris wrass she must be still sleeping in the sand since my Formosa is still not around.
Come out an hour later and.... okay theres the formosa... cant find the black stripe coris.... crap!
Still looking
Cant find the fish..
Shit..
I hate buying new one that dont make it through the night....
She didnt hide at all yesterday so i didnt expect her to hide for days like some do....
Wait!
Found her!

I would just like to point out that there was more then 1" of bottle below the sand.

I guess some fish require no effort to capture ...

Why couldn't the butterfly do that....

Slocan is east Van. About 10 min on highway from JL. Between Renfrew and Nanaimo. JL has them for sale. I have Aquamedic brand. If you're closer to Warren I can get it to him and you can pickup from him?
