To catch a tominini tang??
Without ripping apart the tank.....any suggestions? Ive had a net in the tank for a while, but he's so skittish, won't go near it. So I doubt a hook will work for the same reason. He's a great fish, just can't keep a goby with him.

Ive had luck catching fish in the middle of the night either in the dark while there sleeping or by flicking on the lights and catching them while they are stunned, there is also the home made trap using a 2l bottle that ive has luck with

Night catching- good idea, but he sleeps in the very back of the tank under rocks. And if I go after one side of the tank, he swims behind the rocks to the other side.

A sudden flash of light works. Its enough to confuse the fish.

Now that's a great idea...except I just filled my water containers back up overnight and don't have anything to hold 100+ gallons of water...
Will see what I can round up.....how low does the tank need to get?

i have 2 x 30g rubbermaids at the store you can borrow as well as some buckets if need be , hell maybe even a tank lol shut off your skimmer and syphon as much to your sump as you can , same with your ato empty it and use it to hold SW from your display while you catch the tang, its a bit of work but guaranteed youll catch him. another thing that has worked well for me in the past is to block off escape routes by stuffing garbage bags and eggcrate in every nook and cranny gl

Have you tried a fish trap? You might have to wait a while but it sure beats the full tank dismantle.
If I can catch a Golden Dwarf Angel in one I'm pretty sure a sketchy tang should be pudding. I have one your welcome to use, either you can pick it up or I work right next to Concept. |
