gogators Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I have a couple of annoying damsels that have decided to eat my xenia like its broccolli. I would really like to get those buggers outta there but netting them so far has been impossible without pulling all of my rock out of the tank. Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well (scratch) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan in salem Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I've had great luck building my own. Here is a link for the directions: http://www.aquariumlife.net/projects/diy-aquarium-tools/32.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 If they are agressive eaters. Try very small barb less fish hooks and some line. I caught a couple tangs that way. If not search fish trap on youtube. It shows how to make one out of a two liter bottle. HAPPY FISHING!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogators Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 That's why this forum rocks!!! Thank you guys for your suggestions, I post a problem and within 6 minutes get 2 great suggestions! Those damsels have no idea what they are in for. Anyone want two bowtie damsels? Otherwise they may be living in the fuge for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife thought I was crazy though. She asked why I have over twenty fishing rods, spend 30 hours a week out on the river and still have to come home and fish in our tank.

Untill he watched me get one in like 3 minutes. And it was alot of catching them that way(No damage done to the fish either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
