ryanjury Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Man thats an awesome looking tank congratulations! I would be proud of that you have some really nice fish.. I would try something like this.. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/fish_trap.php Or else you can just chuck some nets in and see if you get lucky and they swim into them sometimes i just leave the nets in there for a few hours and keep checking seeing whats around them they get used to them and sometimes jump into them.. Depends how patient I am.. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 great looking tank, can see why you don't want to pull it apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Maybe so they can catch out fish?!?!? Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 lol he looked so funny under their today :lol: That fish trap idea might work Mark, just make it small enough that anything else cant fit into it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 like the trap idea, good use for all my coke bottles, ryan could use a bait catcher and make the hole smaller dont want to pull the tank apart as it will be a mission to catch all the biggies out, stress ful on the fishies too will use the trap to catch out the breeders and do them seperately in smaller tanks the young have survived so far in the gaps in the rocks, some are getting pretty cheeky though dicing with death got a bumble bee, another yellow and a powder blue holding as well bait catcher worth a try i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichfanatic Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi Livingart Fantastic fish and tank I have used the coke bottle trap and can recommend it Caught many fish using this system Suggest not feeding them for a day before using this system Won’t hurt them and the hungrier they are the better this trap works Good luck with your fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
