I need help catching a fish

[jovangat]

Hi everyone,
Can anyone help me in catching a regal angel, he is nipping on some of my corals and there is no way I can take my tank apart.
I am thinking of a fish trap, can anyone give me any suggestions to which one is the best or if anyone has any ideas on how to catch this guy that would be great.

Thanks for the help.

I've two succesful ways of catching fish.

First - I used a fairly large clear plastic bag (from a fish store) and clipped it to the top front of the display tank so that the flow from a nearby pump kept it "inflated" in the tank. I kept the top of the bag open so that the fish could swin into it. I then put a block of frozen food in there, sat back and waited. After ten minutes every fish in tank had ventured into the bag. Once the one I wanted out swam in there I jumped up and pulled it out of the water.

Second - I used a tiny fish hook and filed off the barb. Used a piece of krill and caught the fish in 2 seconds. Didn't harm it at all and the hook came out the moment I got the fish in a container.

Good luck,
Art

If your local, I'll let you borrow my fish trap. Maybe a frag?
