Help!How to catch fish?

optimusyue · March 22, 2004

Hi

I am sure this has been discuss before but I desperately need to get my damsel out of my tank coz the fellow is terrorising everything new and old that I have. He even bite ME everytime I put my hand in the tank!

I have tried different method like putting food inside plastic containers to trap them but to no avail. Just for your info, almost evey fish fell into the trap except the stupid or should I say smart damsel.

My tank is 4x2x2 ft and is 'view from both side' kind of set up which makes it even more difficult to trap the fish. I am so desperate that I think I might be willing to pay money to anyone who can catch it for me (hehe) coz I am having hard time keeping the more shy fish like anthias. Can somebody please help?

Thanks.

If you have tried traps and failed, the only way is to do a total rescape :shock: meaning take all your corals, liverocks out and catch the bugger. You have no choice bro, I've done that 3 times already to catch fishes that terrorise my fish, corals and clams. Better than waiting for the fish to be trapped (IMO some fish can never be trapped) and you stay frustrated :angry:
