Trap the dotty !

Exactly as stated above. It will take a while to train it to be okay with the trap being around and need to be fed exclusively with it.

 

Wish you the best of luck! Interested to see the fish trap when you get a chance.

 

Yep,starve him out,you'll probably catch the wrong fish a few times,but sooner or later,she'll get hungry enough to go in it.

I had a bi color and they are smart beautiful fish,but when you look at them,they look back at you in a most uncomfortable manor,lol.Good luck

 

I made my own to catch my flame. Got the bugger in 15 min.

 

..I like that...the coke bottle diy will take some training..I just went to the tank and the string came off..it was on the sand bed and full of snails.. : /
Round one..Dotty

 

Just checking in to see if it was had yet or worse.

I think it's just taunting you, smart little evil devils.

Beautiful but just like a 6 line I would not add another to my tank. Hope you catch it, got a sump?

 

I'm gonna not feed for a day...should be going ape chit for food by then..I will get this wise guy!;D

 

Good luck!!! Took me months to get my dotty. You'll LOVE having him out of the tank!

 

I ended up taking the rocks out and hunting him down, what a nightmare fish, put him in the refugium to keep him safe, traded him for a bottle of purple up, still think I got the best deal, my mate has 350 gallon and has never had any problems at all with him ? Maybe my 90 wasn't the right spot for him ?

Anyway worked out well in the end.

 

Probably just the extra space helping - less fish invading territory, etc. My dotty had his cave and that was mostly where he hung out, but he fearlessly protected it....was really, REALLY aggressive about it! A local reefer took him and he is doing fine in her tank. :
