Rust vs. Flame- caught the Rust!...** Update, RIP Rust Angel

What is this, confessions of a sociopath? He doesn't enjoy the aggression so one needs to go. It's his tank so he is free to choose which one.

 

I read on another forum (can't remember where at this point) where this guy who had an aggression issue between two fish used a piece of plexiglass to separate the two in the display tank. He kept it separated for a I think a week or so and fed the fish at the plexiglass on either side.

After a while the aggressor relaxed and no longer had issues with the other fish and he was able to remove the plexi.

once you move him back, it might be worth a try

 

Congratz on catching him. I'll have to remember the zip lock bag thingy, nice little trick.

 

Elite Aquatics makes a nice acrylic acclimation box that would do just fine as well. Keep the Rust in there to monitor its aggression towards the Flame when it swims by.

I bought one for future wrasse additions

 

Must admit, this had me chuckling out loud.

Congrats on the catch and I'll have to remember this method for the future.

 

I guess i shouldn't have been surprised that this worked. My flame angel is easily the most curious fish in my tank. i can see it swimming into a bag just to check it out.

 

No problem. 2 gallon bag is the trick. Glad it worked!!!!

The hardest fish to catch was 3-stripe damsel. I fought it for a week I think. But once I put 2g bag in, it was done.

 

the hardest for me EVER was catching two convict damsels......I was cussing like a sailor - I was a bad parent that day

 

i think convict damsel and three stripe are the same thing.

 

no, they are different. I'm not sure convict is the right name but that's what they were labeled. These are the damsels that are quite plentiful on the reefs where I've snorkeled.

here's a pic of the evilness........
