SRC Member loster Posted July 13, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted July 13, 2006 do u have any anemone in your tank that your morron clown is hosting it now? u can take off your anemone and put it in your fish trap... it will swim itself to the trap and host at its anemone... that will be easily catch it up. or, after lights off for few hours... noted where your morron clown sleeping area... turn on some lights... enough for you to see into your tank and use your hand or a small net to catch your fish while it is still sleeping... i used this method to catch my fishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woverine Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Bro another technic is start feeding your fishes with the food inside the fish net... Eventually when your clown is brave enuf to come into the net to feed.. kazam you got him without any "painstaking waiting" or "light off" waiting procedure .... hehehehhe....
