Looking for a fish trap

miracles38 · #1 07/28/2006, 09:16 PM

Hey,
I have a foxface that I need to get out of my reef. It was in my softy tank and never bothered anything. Now it is in with my LPS and has already eaten my favorite lobo and it is picking on my cynarina. I have covered the cynarina with a net and I am trying to find strawberry baskets to cover my other LPS. But what I really need is a trap. Does anyone have one that I could borrow? Or any ideas on an easy one to make?

Also, anyone want a foxface????

Thanks for your help.

If he's a pig you can put some food in a clear box and he will swim right in for you to scoop him out.

you can make your own trap from a two litter

So hiepatitis how do you make one from a 2L bottle?

maddness - I'm afraid to catch a foxface with a hook - how do I get it out without touching the venemous spines?

Jordan - he's a smart little bugger.

That would be my suggestion also...I didn't know they were poisonis...maybe some leather gloves.

Kim,

Contact Matt (Wombat2). I know he has (or atleast had) one. He also lives in Davis.

you cut the top and insert it into the bottle like a funnel, but since your fox face is too big it would not work
