hassle free and easiest way to trap fishes

[hamannbmw]

I've been trying different ways to trap my fishes for "months" without success, until hendry from ML taught me this method, i caught my white cheek tang within 10 min... Just to share

first.....

place a glass bottle (big enough for fishes to go in) into the tank

[hamannbmw]

second...

stick mirror outside tank.... put some pellets into the trap, when fish goes near to the trap, it see itself and start to "kom bunk" it will eventually goes into the container within mins and start displaying its terror

[hamannbmw]

third.....

when the fellow is in the trap, let it stay for a while till the fellow super hot liao, den lift up the container or u may use a net to cover the bottle's mouth...

Voila.....hurray thanks hendry

Juz to add, preciously I used a beta box and place the mirror inside the beta box, den I shut the beta box door with a stick when the fish swims in, no way it can escape that way...
