Does it work? I'm having a hell of a time catching a tomato clown. She keeps laying eggs and the tangs are tearing her up.

I made one you're welcome to borrow. I've used it several times works great. Drop a little food in. When the fish you want goes in you just pull the fishing line close the door. 99% guarantee it will work. I live in Hallandale East of US1. I know it's a drive for you.
I think thats the best design ive see yet!! Very nice.

Don't feed the fish for a day.
I have a small whole in the top corner of the that box at the opposite side of the door.
I use eye dropper and put a small amount mysis at a time.
The only way to get some food is to go in.
You have to be patient but all the fish eventually go in.
Of course all the fish your not trying to catch go in first... Lol

Yes I feed everyday, maybe I need to make a box like yours or borrow it to get him out. Since you put a small amount he wouldn't have a choice and be forced to enter, the trap I have has a screw on back where the food goes but that doesn't seems like it'll entice fish to enter on the other end. So I end up placing it into the tube and like you say every other fish enters but him. Lol

Thanks
Props- I think this would be a neat DIY project for many. Why dont you teach us how you did it in another thread. We ALL need a fish trap eventually. Heck im willing to buy one from you. :dance:

Well borrowed Dave's trap. She won't even look at it. I'm not going to feed my regular times And skip a day to see if she gets more aggressive eating. If this doesn't work over the next few days then I will be picking up the other trap and trying out. Worse case I'm going to empty my tank out.

Amazing how the same fish will develop different personalities, my Angel fish never touch corals, he rather it black worms.
