fish trap

xinumaster · #1 07/15/2007, 03:23 PM

Does any one has a fish trap I can borrow? I need to catch my 6line wrasse that has been picking on my mystery wrasse. I already tried the DIY bottle trap but none of my fish was caught. I also tried to find where my wrasse sleeps at night but with too many rocks and most of them are tight together with epoxy in a 375g 30" high is just impossible to find him and if I can find him it would be hard to remove a rock to grab him. So a fish trap is the only option I can think for now.

I have Dudley's trap(which I have not been successful with). I'll send him a PM. I'll let you know.

Perry,

Just watch him for a couple of days.. wrasses seem to sleep in only a couple of places that they prefer. Before the attinics all turn off the wrasses seem to have an idea prior to going dark and start to roam the tank looking for their favorite hiding place...

Once you find them just wait for them to sleep there.. and in the morning while the lights are off and the fish is asleep, just scoop them out with a net or what ever you have...

I've caught my last sixline in 5-6 secs. ( sent to skorpinok )
and other fish as well.

Hey, can I borrow the trap when you are done with it? Dudley, can I get it from Perry at the swap?

If you guys don't want the 6line wrasse, let me know. I can take it from you =) since my 55 gallon is pretty empty

When I catch mine, you can have him - as long as you understand why we want to get rid of them!

Currently I only have a blue tang and a clownfish. My tank is 48 inches in lenght, so I think the fish have enough room to swim. I have read some posts about th 6line wrasse attacking other fish. Is there anything else I should know? =D
