I caught my damsels with a homemade trap. What you do is take a 1-2 liter bottle and cut the top off right where it stops to curve. Then take the top and cut a hole where you poor the liquid from the size of the fish. Next reverse the top so it faces into the bottle and push it all the way so its flush with the rest of the bottle. I know its hard to understand... If you go to google and type in homemade fish trap you can find this trap and it works everytime but you have to be patient.

Its not recomended but you can starve your fish for a few days making them really hungry and they'll go right in.

Good Luck,
