gone fishin

well, i've been fishing for my 2 yellow tailed damsels for the past 30 minutes and here is a pic of what i've caught so far:



ya, nada. got 1 that swims around a lot and i know i can catch him with persistence. the other one hides under my biggest peice of rock EVERY second. hate to move the rock, it is a base rock resting on the glass. any advice?? (other than 2 give up:-/)

 

you can borrow my picasso trigger, he'll definately take them out for ya!!lol

 

;D;Dha! i still want my clowns! is he trained to only eat what you want him to eat?? people would probably pay a lot of money for his services then!!;D;D

 

no, hes actually pretty passive, he just did not like having another trigger in the tank, the other trigger is temporarily living in my 55g till i get another 120g or bigger tank

 

Catching fish can be a stress full event not just for you.

Try to avoid chassinf fish for long periods of time

have you considered a diy trap

Good luck to you

good luck

 

i just finished looking that up through a search of the site. i am contemplating takin the one rock out, then it shouldn't take long at all, i just didn't want to disturb the sandbed

 

Hey , BMSHEHAN try the DIY fish trap that the other guy mentioned I just caught 2 crafty damsels in my 120 reef in no time at all. I bought a cheapo hermit crab cage for like 4 dollars and just added some fishing line to it I used a couple small pieces of LR to keep the door open and I used my magscraper algae thing to hold the trap on the bottom and I caught them in no time with no stress or mess. I set the trap in the tank for a few days so they would get curious. Then I put some food in the trap and wham bam see you later goodbye. Good luck let me know how it goes..

 

i got em finally. kogle came over after work and we decided to just take the rock out, only had to take 1 rock out, the one they were living in. the one that never left there was so shocked he just stood there, we swept him up no prob. the other one ran around for about 5 min. then we got him. petco is now the proud owner of both. glad to have em both out.

barely kicked up the sandbed either, I was VERY surprised. pretty much settled back down already.
