How do I catch an aquarium fish

I want to get a bully fish out of my tank. My friend said the only way was to remove all the live rock so that he could not hide. Does anyone else have a better idea. So far the removal score is Fish 3 - me 0

I am so frustrated that I feel like putting food on a hook and going "fishing"

 

"fishing" with small barbless hook will work...done before.

This better...DYI Fishtrap

Good Luck!

 

Try one like this,

Thanks guys and karma to each of you.

 

I used a modified DIY Fishtrap and it worked great just have a little patience.
Go get your self a cheap plastic hermit crab cage for like 3 bucks from any pet store the cage should have a hinged lid built in so you do not have to build it. All you need is some fishing line a little food and some time. Tie the line to the door and run it through the cage so when you put the cage in the tank you will put the bottom of the cage against the side of your tank and the door will swing open on the other side you will use the line to pull the door closed when the fish swims in. Put the trap in for a couple days so the fish will have time to check it out and not be scared of the trap. ( I used my mag float to hold the trap in position and a small piece of LR to keep the door down wait a few days to feed and put some food in the trap when the fish you want swims in pull the line and dance around the house you have just gone fishing in your own reef. I am going to post some pics of my trap if I have time.

 

great idea on the crab cage. just like the phrase keep it simple.

 

okay I just ran out and picked up a small plastic fish transport container with a hinged lid for $5.00. I will post pics if I am sucessful in my adventure. :

 

That should work. By the way what are you trying to catch?

 

I think you could guess. it is a bully damsel. it was my first fish.

 

just be smarter than the fish.
