rsaavedra February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 (edited) I have a Half Black Angel that is terrorizing one of my fish and picking at my corals and is really driving me insane. Tried a few things and they don't work H-E-double hocky sticks I'm even trying to fish him off right of the tank literally (bait, fishing line, hook and weight). If you want to try your hand at it I'm offering $20.00 to the person who fishes him out. LMK Please. Raf Edited February 27, 2007 by rsaavedra
jason the filter freak February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 Do you want my elibis? lol? I cant give the half black a home, but I can offer up the elibis
jamesbuf February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 cut all the lights off, in the tank and the surrounding area so its pitch black, and come back in 2 hours to catch them while they're docile. Thats what I did last Saturday and it took about 5 seconds to catch my Sohal. Easier than rearranging the tank.

Guest tgallo February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 try this as it has worked for me in the past, place your net in the tank, keep it there, feed the fish like you do daily and after 3to5 days the fish should get acustomed to the net, eventully the problem fish will get close enough at feeding time to scoop him up.
dandy7200 February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 Better yet put a couple polyps of zoas in the net as bait.

rsaavedra February 27, 2007 Author February 27, 2007 I wish you lived closer.... I would have him out in 20 minutes! -Byron Byron come up, I'll give $10.00 for gas and $15.00 to catch it, but you get $0.00 if you finish empty handed LMK if we got a deal. Raf The tank must be intact at the end of the day (i.e. no moving aquascape, not destroying tank/aquascape/corals). Here is what the tank looks like as a reference: Raf
Caribbean Jake February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 I wish you lived closer.... I would have him out in 20 minutes! -Byron I have seen Byron in action, inside the BRK pond, and he has a complete scuba gear he will use to go under and catch the offender.
Armson February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 where do you live raf? I can use my spear gun right? -Byron

Sugar Magnolia February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 Guess that means no "accidental" fragging will be tolerated.
dhoch February 27, 2007 February 27, 2007 Let me add this will not be the easiest $20 I'll ever make...(I think it was easier winning Dougie buying me lunch at MACNA last year talking about flow in an aquarium).... Dave
rsaavedra February 28, 2007 Author February 28, 2007 VICTORY has been Achieved!!! Thanks to all that offered, I managed to get the Pygmy Half-Black Angel out today using the Bottle Trap Method, funny thing is that within the first 10-15minutes I had captured every single fish in my tank to include 3 out of my 4 shrimps!!! Kudos to the Fox Face which was the only one who figured out how to get out of the trap. Raf
Guest seantadez February 28, 2007 February 28, 2007 Congrat... i meet that smart fish and look like MI3
Armson February 28, 2007 February 28, 2007 So do I get $20 for my suggestion? Dave Cool, I thought you were going to say it was the $40 some odd dollars you got from me when you caught be bluffing in poker at MACNA. Which I want back by the way! -Byron
rsaavedra February 28, 2007 Author February 28, 2007 So do I get $20 for my suggestion? Dave Well you are the reason I caught him, you explained the method. LMK if you are serious. Raf
dhoch February 28, 2007 February 28, 2007 No, just teasing.... You did the work... Glad it finally worked out for you Dave
