How do I catch a fish!!??!

[juliehodson]

I want to get rid of my dottyback because it is attacking everything else in my tank, but it is just so frustrating cause I cant catch it! It just hides behind the rock. Last weekend I had the majority of my rocks out of the tank and after an hour and a half still couldnt catch the darn thing so I gave up. It killed my mandarin (bit its tail off) and is now attacking my clowns and my boxfish so I have to get rid of it. Anyone got any ideas

Trapeze is a very good product. It catches just abuot anything from mantis shrimps to angels. Not sure of the price though but most lfs sell em or even hire them out.

Ask your LFS... I was in there last week and said something to the owner of mine about having to get rid of a 3 stripe damsel before we could get a clown fish because the damsel is just so mean. He said he'd loan me a trap if I needed to catch it and bring it bak to him. All you probably need to do is ask.

Have a net ready and hold a chunk of frozen mysis or other fresh food at the surface, when it comes to feed scoop the net under him.
