How to catch a fish....

Jurgy64 · 02-12-2008, 07:57 PM

I have a green choris and a dottyback that I am trying to catch in my tank so I can bring in a blue spotted jawfish which I'm supposed to get Thursday. I tried luring them into a plastic jar with some frozen food but honestly they were the only 2 that did not go into it. Anyone have any suggestions.

It's a "given" that the fish You want will be the last to enter your trap.

Turn your lights on 3-4 hours after they've been off. The fish usually stay "asleep" and are super easy to catch. I caught 30+ fish out of my old 180 doing this.
