Anyone know how to kill a particular fish?

Folks, that's just "frustration-speak". Nothing else. I'm sure everyone of you has been there before.

Not a single person, including the original poster, wants this fish to be dead.

 

Thanks Curt, you see where i'm comin from! lol

 

Kevin, give my idea a shot, Its easier then you think. Tangs have a tendancy to ... swim alot even at night, and with the lights just full blown at them out of no where.. It gives you a good 2 minute window to catch them.

 

he tends to go into a cove that I have in my tank as soon as the lights go out, and i dont ever see him out after that until the next morning

 

Thats odd, My purple and Achilles are constantly on the prowl at night. Very graceful in moonlighting.

The only other thing I can think of and it was pretty easy for one of our fishes who was a bit larger, We took chunks of ceiling grating and blocked off the caves and hiding spots.

 

I literally just got the fish I hated out last week. Tried everything and never got her. Finally, I went and got some tiny fishing hooks. Without exaggeration, it took 2 seconds and I had her on the hook. Put her in my fuge and traded her in at my lfs yesterday. Just put the food thy fish likes the most on a hook and go fishing!!!

 

I have used a method similar to gambits with seaweed on a clip as bait.. and as gambit stated a super fast net swipe.will ur sailfin come out to feed on seaweed with lights out?

 

Im tellin you im with newguy420 I just fished out a pixie hawkfish 3 inches or less with a hook and line.Just starve him out for a few days first.GO FISHIN

 

agreed on the fishing. Iv see his tank and can safly say that he would have to go diving to get him out with a net...... besides you can buy a bream hook from walmart with the line and fish all day for about 2.00 tops as removing the rock might take FOREVER in his BEAST LOL. good luck ;D
