I set traps up for mine and it would never go near them. I caught every other fish in the tank but never that evil evil fish. I did get great pleasure in removing it from my 65 in the tank transfer. It now resides in the tank at work where it can do what it wants without stressing out the other bullies with it.

you could train a mantis shrimp to stun the fish you want it to!

or just try a pop bottle trap. or if it gets really bad, a tiny hook and some mysis

Alrighty, simple enough set up that works quite well.

Trap door which is hooked up to fishing line. Once the fish swims in, drop the line. It also has a hole drilled in the top for food. Basically I put it in the tank, with the trap door held up by my mag float for a day. Then I use a turkey baster to insert some food. Then I wait...and don't leave for any snacks...and then I catch the fish
