how do you guys catch fish?

[terryansimon]

how do you guys do it? I think setting a trap for my very alert tangs may be a bit of a hassle.

Henry of ML told me to use a mirror to attract the Scorpas and Yellow....

I was thinking of flooding my water with food and putting a very VERY large net to catch it.

urh any other wise ideas? need to catch my Scorpas and Yellow before I can buy my black tang.

[xiggie]

i use my bare hands ....

[terryansimon]

I don't see how on earth can I catch two tangs with my bare hands. care to enlighten?

Remove all the rocks No joke it works.

Done that before........... a few times.......

[terryansimon]

I don't fancy removing all my rocks.

=\

anyway?

[scarab]

Ok seriously, haven't done this before but was told it works.

Set up a trap in your tank. Can be those in LFS where they use for quarantine fishes

Next starve your fish for 4 days. Starve mean starve no food at all.

After 4 days, place food in the trap and wait

When fish enter, close trap. It seems they sure will enter because damn hungry.

Well good luck

BTW I got the trap if you want to borrow. Tried the mirror technique before. Didn't work for me.

if I starve my fishes for just one day, my Bartletts and Moorish Idols will just drop like flies.

wow a black tang huh???? then wats ggonna happen to ur yt and scopas?

[terryansimon]

Scorpas will be sold? or given to a fish shop in exchange for a slightly cheaper black tang? not much cheaper though...but better than nothing?

yellow tang? probably get a shop or someone to babysit for me whilst I acclimatise the black.

switch on your aquarium lights in the early in morning when its still dark preferbably when those fish are sleeping ... they are gonna be stunned .... then use your hands or rather a net to scoop them up .....

done that to some 6 pc of damsels using only my hands .... and u know how damsels are ...

[terryansimon]

what if the fish sleeps in the myriad of cave networks that I have? do I knock on the door and say good morning?

but seriously, they do sleep within the caves.
