I have luck with the inverted coke bottle everytime. I've had to banish a few fish to the sump for bad behavior and used a monstrous 2 liter bottle to catch an angel.

Yea I just caught my damsel last week same way .. I had to kinda spin it to get him to see the food but once he did took all of 5 secs lol

Milk jugs work too - for larger fish that won't be enticed into a smaller bottle. The greedier they are, the easier they are to catch. My flame tail blenny is always the first to enter the bottle - nothing stands between him and his food! If I ever need to catch him, it will be a cinch!

I've caught a six-line wrasse, hippo tang, bi-color pseudo, etc. using this method.

Love the inverted coke bottle. I used it to catch a misbehaving angel. I used a two or three liter one.

How do you secure the bottle so it won't roll around?
