    Thank you ! Yep - post the question and you will get many indicating a hook and line is effective
    Brit humour is awesome, but so are Ralphie Mays, Jay London and Dave Mordel (Last comic standing seasons 1 and 2) so your good for humour on that side of the pond also

    Never would have thought of the hook, but it seems so blindingly logical

    Ralphie is hilarious. You should try listening to DC Benny, Dough Stanhope, Jim Norton, Bobby Collins and Bobby Slayton. Those guys are great comics too.

    hey thanks for the bottle method I am going to give it a try...at least before I go fishing for him I just have a feeling that my yellow tang would be the one on the end of the hook since he has no fear and even eats from my hand.

    I think I will pull my six line out and house him in a guppy holder as suggested and try changeing the surrrondings around a bit. I will keep you guys updated if this works I have my doubts with the six line. If I do have to make a choice between the two what do you guys think.

    I think they are both your fish and you should keep the one you like the most - a breif period in the fry trap or even better a grown on net as they are like 12 inches by 8 inches and made of netting - will give you a chance to make a desicion

    but make sure the leapard is out and about and looking good before saying good bye to the 6 line
    as you could end up with neither

    I was lazy when my little clown got over harassed by the larger one and used a plastic colander (strainer) and clipped it to the top of my tank to separate them. It worked since it was opaque and had holes to provide water flow for the fish. It was free too :D

    Haha, thanks!




    I really am quite lazy though. The woman can attest to that.
