Fish trap post?

[Michelle L]

Did the powers-that-be steal the "fish trap that actually works" post? I can't find it and I would like to have a look at it again. I am pretty sure I am searching far enough back to find it...

Hmm...my search results did not turn it up. It must have been deemed inappropriate in some way. Usually they are just locked not removed. you may want to pm a mod.

Are you referring to the acrylic box thing? Was that in the slash or seasl forum? I think it might of been in the seasl forum.

 

[Michelle L]

No, I'm pretty sure it was here because this is the only club forum that I generally visit (don't you guys feel special??)

It's not too important, I just wanted to check out the picture again...I bought one and need to figure out how it works. I can PM the seller if I'm too thick to eventually figure it out LOL!

I think that it was removed do to the appearance of him selling them ... i read someone posting a notice of payment made by paypal....

 

[Michelle L]

Yeah I figured as much....

Thanks all!

hi there everyone,

It was my post they removed exactly for that reason. I was apearantly selling these for profit but not really. I just asked for the cost of the plexy.... Long storry short here is the pic again.
And if anyone has any questions please let me know. I will be more then happy to help; this is what the trap was suposed to do but rules are rules... If anyone still needs one just PM me please

This picture shows you how the rubber band goes around and where the plexy stick goes to hold it open....

Great!! Thanks for posting the picture again; now I can reference it should I need to. I've been so busy this week that I haven't tackled putting the trap into the tank.

Michelle:

If you don't have time play with it drop it in the tank anyway just to get the fish used to it. Make sure to add some food to it to let them know that this is a good thing....

I have not done it this way but other people have and it worked for them. I guess my fish are just trusting me lol.

Let us know how it worked for you,

BK

Okay, I'll do that tonight. I think my hawkfish is psychic. He'll almost eat out of my hand but if I try to trick him...no way. Getting him used to the trap is going to be a must with that darned fish, because he's going to know it's something designed to rock his world.

If I can catch him...does anyone want a nice big Falco hawk for free that murders shrimp and small gobies for sport?

 

[medic29]

Go get him Michelle!!! Just put some shrimp in there and he'll go right in. LOL oops!

 

[Michelle L]

I would do that....BUT I don't have any shrimp left!!!!

Pelets work for me. Seaweed works well for the tangs....
