FarmerTy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 So I tweaked my fish trap I had and drilled a hole at the far end for my feeding tube. Here are the results. I'll post more details about my goal in my thread but just wanted to post here for others to enjoy. [emoji327] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah, the ones trying to eat from outside the trap... not so clever... persistent at least... the yellow and chocolate tang that were in the trap before there was even food... not so clever either. The powder blue that needs to be caught... he's hardly ever close to it. They know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 . . . The powder blue that needs to be caught... he's hardly ever close to it. They know! They sure do know, same problem with trying to catch one on a hook. Sometimes a piece of acrylic mirror works if it's a real territorial fish.

FarmerTy Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 If he doesn't go for the trap... I'm going to do the ole' flashlight at night trick. Stun him with the light when he's sleeping and swoosh goes the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCAB Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've had luck with nori high on a clip And scooping it out with the net while its focused on the nori. Just don't hesitate or let them see the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
