ga saltwater fishing
Hard to catch saltwater fish...?
I, like many others, was recommended starting a 24 ga saltwater tank with a couple of damsels. One recently died for unknown reasons but the one that remains was the more aggresive of the two. I don't really feel like I can put any other fish in the tank a this point due to him taking out another fish but I can't catch him. I've had the tank for around 7 months and have quite a few corals, etc. where I don't really want to move out the rock. Can someone give me a trick or two on how to catch him? Waiting with net in hand in the tank for an hour or so just hasn't worked!
Thanks
As Rohn said, a trap is the best way to go. My local aquarium hires traps out. The bottle method is fine for smaller fish, but anything bigger you will need a trap with a bigger opening. The traps I have seen are made of clear poly, and have a trap door side, that is closed by pulling on a piece of fishing line. When you fist put the trap in the tank, just leave it there and keep putting food in the trap and not trying to catch the fish straight away. Get the fish used to the trap. Once it is happy going in and out of the trap, you should then tie a nice peice of shrimp in the trap so it is really well secured. When the fish is trying to get the shrimp just pull on the string and close the door. Takes a bit of patience and may take a while for the fish to enter the trap and feel comfortable in it, but it will happen.
