Fish traps

[walton]

Anyone have any luck with these? I have some damsels that I need to get out of my tank.

I did a bunch of searching about this when I needed a foxface out of my tank. Seems that peeps have a lot of success with the 2 liter bottle method. Look it up on you tube, it seems to work. I made it and then never used it. The fish quit picking on my corals but I have it ready to go if I need it. Good luck and if you do use it let us know how it works out.

First rule of fish traps: EVERY fish except the one you want to catch, will go into the trap.

Never fails.

Damsels are hard to trap since the trap is usually placed on the bottom of the tank, but damsels are mid-water column to top water column swimmers.

Most folks end up cursing, swearing, and tearing the entire tank apart and draining most of it down, in order to remove them.

Reason #1 NOT to get damsels...

Sorry - it's not going to be easy, no matter how you attempt it.

Lol good luck man I had to remove literally everything including all the water but like 2 inches of water to finally be able to catch mine. Best trick I saw done was two good size nets to corner them and scoop em out
