Hey ARC

I've been trying to catch 4 green chromis damsels out of my tank for about a week now. I made the 2 liter coke bottle DIY trap, and haven't had much luck.

I've left the trap in the tank for about 4 days now trying to get the fish used to it. So far, I haven't seen any try to swim inside. I've put flake food as well as frozen food into the bottle, but nobody seems to interested in taking the bait.

The bottle has been floating around the surface. Have people had better luck sinking the bottle? Any suggestions on a better bait? I've heard rumors that garlic is pretty popular with the fishies.
:D
 
I can catch my chromis by putting some live brine shrimp in a large palstic fast food type cup (the extra-size me cups), I just put the cup in the tank and squirt the shrimp in to the cup and when the swim in I lift up the cup. they can't resist the live brine.
