pandagold Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 HELP !! HELP !! I've bought my fish trap box, to rid my tank of these pesky demsal ( 5x ) Place food palets in it, waited for like seems a life time, still refuse to go into trap . My wife suggested using line and staple hook ??!! Anyway, any other way I can catch them ? Anyone willing to try, I have 3x yellow demsal and 2x black/white strip demsal ( once you catch them , I'll package it as a gift to you, and 1/2 dozen coke cans... hehe ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member vt_snowman87 Posted September 15, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted September 15, 2010 you can try putting live brine shrimp into a ziplock bag (make sure its transparent), and then placing the bag inside the fishtrap box.. this makes sure that the live brine dun flow out of the box, yet remain visible to entice the fishes.. usually curious and greedy fishes can't resist live brine, and will swim into the box to try eat the live brine.. good luck!

SRC Member dreamlover Posted September 15, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted September 15, 2010 1 additional point, try not giving them food for maybe 2 days then try the trap. They may be too hungry to think already and just chiong for the food. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandagold Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 In summary 1. trap box, 2. Don't feed 2 days ( have to remember to remove my timer feed box ) 3. live brine shrimp in ziplock bag 4. anchor live shrimp into trap box 5. Sell or donate them , that's if I'm succesful . Let's wait for results this coming weekend , fingers cross . Other alternative, stuff them for 1-2 weeks .... hehe, SPCA will definately knock on my door..
