Need to burrow a Fish Trap...

[DOGGIE750]

I would like to reach out here if anyone here that could lend me a fish trap to take out 1 med size (1.5-2") & 1 small (0.75-1") aggressive Damsels. Please advise. Thank you.

Doggie - I don't have a fish trap, but I've always been able to get my fishes with a simple piece of plexi. I just use something that is long enough to make a triangular corner in the tank. I leave it there with for a couple days with one edge not touching the glass so that I feed from there and food flows out of it. After a couple days, fishes get used to it they'll go into the wedged section and at that time, I close it and net out the fish. I think it's easier because it's bigger and the fishes are more reluctant to swim into a large area as opposed to a smaller trap.

never thought of that trick. That's sounds pretty good.

Hopefully you can give his a try to see how it works. For me it's convenient as I have pieces of acrylic around that usually works out and not having the traps means one less piece of equipment I have to store. If you have any questions, let me know.
