How to catch a fish?

[taillonjohn]

I want the damsel out of the tank.... I've got uses for him elsewhere. But every time the net goes near the tank, the fish goes into the rocks. any idea's, without taking all the rocks out? Tks.

Good luck, Damsels are verrrrrrry hard to catch....check into fish traps

A shopvac or Dustbuster usually will work... =D.. j/k

I wait until they are near the corner of the tank slip in 2 sheets of eggcrate, and them net.. They can't get through the eggcrate!

LOL, good luck!!! I just got my dominoe out of my 55g after months of trying. (he knew exactly what the fish trap was! and avoided it at all costs) I recommend a worm, line, and hook. A bobber if you want to do it right

Start feeding out of the net. or get a trap. Electric shock works too....the DNR uses it.....j/k

Very clever; I have a heniochus butterfly that I want out. Thanks for the insight!
