raeh1 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 How do I catch him? He knows the game, stays close to the rocks and hides when the net hits the water. I have an old bait catcher do you reckon that would work??? I left the nets in the tank for an hour with food in it, but he hid.

wasp Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Well raeh1 they are truely one of the hardest fish to catch. Only way I've ever done it was remove every rock in the tank. However, the baitcatcher may be an idea, these fish are curious and like to squeeze into every little nook, so it just may work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raeh1 Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Bait catcher nil.... dotty wins again. In fact he guarded the food in it from my cleaner shrimp... Him he is a gumpy little fellow... mainly to my two chromis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
