help with fish removal

[Dert42]

i think the reason i've been having trouble adding new fish is that i've been trying to add rather peaceful fish and i have this big stupid srgnt major. he's mean. i think he stresses other fish. so i want him out.

anyone have a fish trap i can borrow?
or should i just pull rocks out and try and net him?

how much of a piglet is he when it comes to food? I've been able to catch a fish by putting a little food in the tank. The fish was so concerned about eating that it didn't even see the net coming.

he's a piggy, but the fish hide when they see me get the net out from the other side of the room!
maybe if i skip a meal... he'll be less attentive.
he'll eat out of my hand if the net isn't hovering above the water

Go over to marine solutions and rent or buy thier fish trap. It really works. I've found on damsels and chromis that if you have the opening up higher in the tank so that the trap is almost on a 45 degree angle, they seem to go in easier. If it's flat on the bottom they don't go in. I think they like caves that aren't quite on the sand level.

tonight i'm going to take out a bunch of rock to clean that stupid sponge off. also to do a little rearranging. i'm going to try and block 1/2 the tank off with a piece of acyrlic so he can't go to far, and i'll try and net him.

plan B. sharks with freakin laser beams. where do i get those?

i had a dansiel had to get out of my tank and let me tell you it was a lot of work. id move one rock and it would just get under anouther so i just took out my rock. in the long run it would have been faster if i had just done it in the first plaz. so i hope you getthe sucker.
