4R00P3R Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I've been with the hobby for about a year. I have a 105 tall with an Oceanic model 2 sump. I'm still eager to learn more. I stocked my tank a little too quickly and need to find out how to catch some fish to trade or sell without dismantling my rockwork. Any advice? I have: Lawnmower Blenny Scooter Blenny -up 4 trade 4eyed Butterfly -up 4 trade ASAP Dragon Goby Cleaner Wrasse -up 4 trade Sailfin Tang I want: Dragon Goby Lawnmower Blenny Mandarin Dragonette Ocellarius Clown Pair Blue Throat Trigger Dwarf Lion and Tang Wrasse Rabbitfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomanero Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Always room for one more. Welcome. In regards to catching fish... some of the LFS either sell or rent traps. You put food in and wait... I've heard varying opinions on how well these work. (this coming from someone who basically dismantled a tank to catch a bi-color angel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I built my own trap and have had success. It depends on the fish though. Some go in right away, and others take a couple days. One word of caution. That is a lot of fish on your desire list for a 105g. And some of those get really big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatfouz Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 ideas for traps, ive used big nets or panty hose and throw in food. when they swim in scoop out. just takes a lot of paitence to wait for the fish. or with help get 2 or three people and egg on the fish into the net.

Sushi Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) Welcome! GKarshens is right, some of those fish do get big... The Blue throat, for example, is a really cool fish, but we've we've got one here thats easily 7-8 inches already. We have most of the fish on your want list in the store, you should bring the ones you want to trade in for some store credit. -Kat Edited October 25, 2007 by Sushi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
