Fish Trap - Anybody in OC ?

[dwizzle28]

Hello,

I've been trying to capture my midas blenny without breaking down all my rock. Does anybody have a fishtrap I can borrow for a bit?

Seeking help from local reefers before I purchase one.

Thanks!

I've always had great luck with clear smooth water bottles, cut the neck off and glue it in backwards, put some food in it and rock for weight, put it in the tank over night. With some fishing line as a lead to pull it out with.

the bottle trick works great for slimmer fish like a midas.

Good luck on the catch!

Thank you!

I'm hoping the midas blenny learns to play nice. I told my son (he picked the fish) that I was rehoming him and he was not happy!
