How to catch a large fish in a reef tank

[my2rotties]

The ones you don't want in the trap will always go in. That is why I worry about the hook idea too. I feel bad enough about the fish I have to catch, let alone the others.

I would need a HUGE bottle to get this fish into it, I'm not kidding we can eat this fish easily she is so huge now. I'm sure in certain markets they are eaten since I saw that Foxfaces also are eaten as well as Emperor angels and tangs.

Once I am done my all day cleaning I will be putting the trap inside to let everyone get used to it.

Last question what did you use for bait? She eats everything, but is a herbivore.

Do you use something to weigh it down?

I've read that you can use a mag float to hold it in place against the glass. I was going to build one to catch my regal angel.

I've had success catching a couple dwarf angels this way. Also caught my yellow tang numerous times, even though I wasn't trying to.

Marie, I have a DIY trap that works well if you ever need it. I caught my Foxface and Sailfin in one evening when I moved them to the big tank, and the Foxface a couple of days later (he's not too bright) to put him in QT when he was bullying the Tuskfish.
