WTS Purple Queen Anthias (harem of 1 male, 2 females)

[kaykay]

Bought them on impulse 3 weeks ago.

My tank looks too cluttered with them as they are the biggest fishes in my 2footer.

Male - 3"

2 Females - 2"-2.5"

Feeding on mysis.

$20 for the 3. Selling cheap.

One problem though.. Will take a few days to catch them. No idea now yet on how to catch them though.

The pics here are from google image. I'm not able to get a good shot of them. However, they look exactly like the pics.

Collection at Bedok Reservoir.

Male

Female

Hi,

Bro Klyve has opted not to take the fishes.

Bro Linus will be next.

Anyone has any ideas how to catch these fellas? The moment I touch the net which has been in the tank for hours, all the fishes dart into the rockworks.

Thanks in advance.

Hi bro maybe can try catching them 1 hr after lights out , then they will be still.

Cheers

Should I switch off moonlights for total blackout then?

[KELVINx3]

yes. or another way is sudden on light. they'll stay still

[kaykay]

Just realized that this harem sleeps in the rock works at night, each in its own cave.

The lights on / off tactic won't work liao.

Anyone has the fish trap to loan? Gemsurfs has stocked out this item, only avail in 2 weeks..

Yes yes bro.

Thanks bro. You're a heaven sent.

Arrange with you on whatsapp..

[spkentchai]

Yes yes bro.

Thanks bro. You're a heaven sent.

Arrange with you on whatsapp..

Anytime bro....i can bring to office at east side or you can get from my wife during the day...let me know your preference....

The box is already fixed with mirror to attract the fish into the box....but I have never kept anthias....so I am not sure if they are daring enough to venture into the box or not....

Tang fish will be the garung one to go into the box when I throw pellets into it,,,,,timid fish will have no chance unless they are really desperate for food.

[kaykay]

Thanks. Will give it a try. It sure beats draining the tank and tearing apart the rocks.

[kaykay]

Still trying to trap the fellas.

Some patience ya.. May never get the harem out at all too, at the rate this is going.
