Removing Clarke Clowns

[mphammer]

Have a couple clarks that Im looking to remove from my tank without tearing it down.
Do clowns fall for the typical inverted soda bottle trap? anybody have a fish trap they would be willing to lend out for a couple hours?
Thanks for the help

I have a acclimation box that can be used as a trap.

I have had the best luck catching clowns than any other fishes without tearing down the tank.

I normally grab them at night as they tend to be predictable and/or have preferences as to their nightly routine. You can also turn on the white lights suddenly which will shock them a bit.

Good luck.
