My 240g FOWLR

Glad to hear no one got hurt. Are we going to see an update, perhaps a video?

 

[SDguy]

OK, the trap is in. Time to thin the herd

 

[aquaph8]

Who's coming to my house?

 

[caribfan]

I'm guessing the home wrecker? Does it rhyme with flepatus?

 

[SDguy]

Pfft, you can have them! Blue hippo tang that I never really wanted in there to begin with. Bream which ended up killing its conspecifics, and looking not terribly attractive. Maybe others...

:lol:

 

[SDguy]

BTW this is what my poor tank sitter has to deal with when I'm out of town

 

[aquaph8]

Ha, I got my own hippo problem and I'll raise you a Lavender. I'd love to take them both out but they're not dumb enough to go in my trap.

 

[SDguy]

Every fish will go into the trap eventually. Just takes patience.

 

[SDguy]

And hippo caught. Damn I'm good

 

[SDguy]

The bream is gonna be tough... a planktivore/pelagic type fish going into a trap? Not easy....

 

[SDguy]

Ugh that bream is tough... he's tried to get into the trap from the opposite side of the door :lol:

 

[SDguy]

And the bream is done!

 

[Eville]

Are you switching any bfs to the reef?

 

[SDguy]

Crazy! The bream died while being acclimated to the LFS tank. It's like it had a heart attack.

 

[Ambition]

I've had healthy fish die when acclimating for the person who buys them. I have no idea why they did after being healthy for months. If you decide to remove any butterflies, ship them to me in MN.

So how many hours per fish do you take you to catch them?

 

[SDguy]

So how many hours per fish do you take you to catch them?

Just depends on the fish. Most fish that will eat food off the ground will go into the trap within an hour. Planktivores and rock dwelling fish take longer.

I took a few pics today, since the fish were behaving particularly photogenic The quality is meh, but you get the idea...

You're too critical beautiful pictures, definitely an inspiration. Especially like the blue-line, how is her temperament with the butterflys?
