I have a large cowfish in QT and he will be ready to come into the display in awhile. I cannot have a cleaner wrasse with a fish of this type. They have no scales and cannot be picked on and cleaned by the wrasse. I have time to get him out and he needs to come out so he does not stress out the cowfish with any picking.

Well that sucks. Does he have a particular favorite food you could use to entice him into a trap with?

He pretty much eats ANYTHING... it does suck since he is the fattest and most healthy cleaner wrasse a person can ask for. He is getting pretty big for a cleaner as well. I also felt they did such a service to other fish... however, they are quite selfish and will pick and bother fish that do not want their attention. I have cleaner shrimp and the fish would much rather go to the cleaning station and get servicing rather then get picked by the cleaner wrasse.
I think I am going to buy a much smaller net with less drag. When the lights go out he swims around in the dark before retiring. Maybe by some chance I will nab him when he can't see the net coming... I hope. Quote:

Just a shot in the dark, but I noticed in petland today some new red nets. The idea is that maybe the fish can't see the red. I wonder if that might work?

I borrowed a friends large red net and they can see them LOL! I had an empty tank in a matter of two seconds when I put it into the tank. I will be trying a small red one this week though. I think small might get this little guy. I think a red net in the dark is just what I need.

Woo!!! Hoo!!!
I finally got him!!! It took over three hours of standing here and many repeated attempts, but he is out and Norman the cowfish is in. To cleaner wrasse is in QT until I see how Norman will do in the display. Hopefully he will be fine and I will find a new home for the wrasse. If Norman does not like the tank, I will sadly have to bring him back to Colby.
Hoping he will be fine with the powerheads and activity in the display. I have grown very fond of him while he has been in QT. Very personable fish to say the least.
