mk guys
I need ideas for and how to steps to build my own fish trap
My damsels keep picking at my new xenia and if they plan on keeping that up, they gotta go!
Thanks!

Well, when I had to catch my sixline wrasse and percula clown, I took a large ziplock bag and submersed it into my tank and left it there for about 10 minutes so that after a while the fish would "forget" that it's there and it would just "disappear" and blend in. Then I took some food and squirted it into the bag and in they swam and I scooped the bag up. Worked perfect both times. I know it's not an "official" fish trap, or one that takes a lot of stuff, but it works!

+1 That's an excellent idea. I think I'll give that a shot.

old soda bottle cut in half worked for me

Strangely enough, I use an led light and a large net. I shine the light at the fish and they at like deer in headlights and can scoop them up.

I also used the soda bottle and it worked perfectly, if the first idea doesn't work try that.
