Can anyone advise which fish can kill my big fat bully bi-colour dotty back?

Tried all ways like fish trap, netting, baiting.. no use . Its terrorising all my fishes..

[neokn]

You mean you tried the inverted bottle fish trap too? I tried that on 2 occassion, successfully trapping 2 nasty dottyback. But youhave to very paitence for it to enter the trap. These fella are ultra-safety fella, they'll never "cheong" into anything unknown (unlike damsel/ tangs) until they have scott the surround area first.

yeh i totally agree.All my other fishes enter into my fish trap to consume the bait

without even checking.

Nope. have not tried the inverted container method. can briefly explain the setting up process? thx..

Erm, if your tank isnt that big, i'll recommand removing all the LRs and then catch it out?

[davidluvfishes]

or are there any sworn enemies for the dotty back by nature?

[davidluvfishes]

Qxnviolet: Nah. Not possible.. i have over 100+kg of LR with corals nicely arranged to the way i like.

Actually i have tried the night hunt, that is to catch the bugger while its sleeping.. .. But its too smart, taking cover deep within the rocks

[Qxnviolet]

Haha, nah, adding a more aggresive fish wldnt help.....it'll just give u more headache trying to get both of them out....

i think a shark might do the work... definitely eats it, and easy to catch it out...

Say with me.

Make sure you point your wand at the bi-colour dottyback. Say this until you wake up in your sleep and that should do the trick.

LOl....good luck in trying to fish out the bugger...maybe wait till its 1/2 asleep or try catch it in the middle of the night?

i think the dottyback is too small for the shark's interests

Thanks Henry for this

Hi

Regarding Henry's method of using a deep bottle and a decoy, will the decoy swim out from the deep bottle ? Does not really understand how this method works . Thanks.
