How do I catch fish in reeftank?
 
I figure I have to many fish in my reef tank. How would be the best way to catch these fish?? I have no way of removing any rock from the tank so how would I do this?

I have a coral beauty, dragon wrasse (always moves my frags around), pijama cardinal, and posibly a Niger trigger. If anyone knows any tricks to catching these fish please let me know. They all run and hide when the net comes in. I might try to catch them when it's feeding time but other then that I have no chance.

Thanks for any help.

YOU CAN BUY OR RENT A FISH TRAP. i CAUGHT 2 DAMSELS & 2 CHROMIS WITH ONE. YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT & WATCH.

I use a small fly fishing hook tipped with a mysis. Works like a charm.

I have also caught damsel fish using a baited nonbarbed fish hook. It only took me a few minutes.

I'm not sure if you guys are serious about the whole fishing hook thing or not. Does it really work?

I dont actually use a fishing rod, but I am dead serious about using a hook.:mrgreen:
