Fish trap I can borrow?

[morganatlanta]

I got three bangaii cardinals a few weeks ago, but it turns out one is a bully. It has already killed off one of the others, and has just about done in the second. I plan to return the bully to Petland Dunwoody, if I can catch it. Netting it just isn't going to happen. Does anyone around intown/Dunwoody/Sandy Springs area have a fish trap I can borrow for a couple days?

I believe there is directions for a DIY that involves a 2 or 1 liter soda bottle if no one has one.

Pretty simple. Cut the curved part off the top of a clear plastic bottle. Turn the curved part around so that the top points inward and stuff it into the bottom part of the bottle so that it forms a cone to guide the fish into the trap. Put food in the bottle in drop it in the tank. The fish will swim in the hole, but can't get out as easily because the cone is now pointing at them.

Works everytime... just ... not always with the fish you want to catch.

I have one you can borrow, but I need to check with Purplegorilla to see if he still wants to borrow it.

I'm going to try the DIY version with a two liter bottle and see what happens.
