Calling out for the Fish Trap ;)

[zeppelin]

If the CORA fish trap could make its way to the East side, I'd like to borrow it. I have a Soho Tang to catch.......

Taco got it from me @ the January meeting.
I'm pretty sure he has it... Taco?

 

[TacoKing]

Yup. Sitting in my fishroom... I don't expect a trip out to your area for a while though. And actually..... I think someone else called dibs on it before you but I can't remember who it was.

If they don't speak up we could always meet downtown sometime over lunch so neither of us has to drive to the opposite side of town.

I think they all are...eventually.

 

[Treg]

I know.

Mine wasnt but mine was still small (<4") when I lost the tank.

Larry, what are you looking to do with him once you get him out ??

 

[ronc98]

Larry if you can catch him and I can catch my coral banded shrimp we could have a nice meal.

Hey Ron, what is the coral banded messing with something?
I was thinking about adding one but may rethink that now.

He is a bit mean to the other smaller fish, and I am heading that way with the 300 (more smaller and medium sized fish), so I figure I better get him out.

He also likes to chase me when I go in to scrape algae. I have to shoot water at him with a turkey baster and scare him once in awhile to get it done without being bitten.

Shawn, he will most likely be for sale.

 

[zaireguy]

I have one that is also a bully as mean as a snake and only 5 inches right now.breath taken fish but they do have a little complex

 

[ronc98]

The coral banded shrimp tends to eat the smaller fish and other shrimp, even with target feedings. To date he has eaten two purple firfish, one red firefish one citron goobi one mandarine two cleaner shrimp and one fireshrimp. I did not realize the it was the coral banded shrimp until I saw him one evening eating his latest catch. They say they are reef safe but for the most part they are not. The only reason he is in my tank is because I bought a complete tank from someone that already had the shrimp in it.

I think it was Lincutis that called dibs. I can then get it to Larry. It's my second home of course.
