Catching Chromis or Damsels

[Lorna]

Does anyone have a good way to catch these little suckers when you have a tank full of rock? That is without dismantling the tank and rocK?

4 hands, 2 nets and a prayer

...........Amen! lol

yea set up a series of large nets and try to herd them into them...it is a pain, but easier than taking apart all the live rock.

I was going to suggest draining the tank, but you have a 75. In a smaller tank, that would be feaseable.

Make a trap from a coke bottle. Taking the water out, or catching at night are also effective

if you have a tank divider it can make your life easier

Well how the germans do is it catch it in a big net then scoop it out with a small net.

Well after driving myself insane I purchased a fish trap and had 4 within a couple hours and the last hold out the next day. Now they are taking up residence in my qt awaiting their car ride back to the lfs tomorrow where they will be traded for a small yellow tang........little beggars.
