Fish Trap help

[SAKTEK]

I borrowed a fish trap from a buddy, to try and get my six line wrasse out. Well it's been three days now, and no luck, all my tangs go in, my blue chromis go in, but the wrasse won't go near it. I've tried mysis, and pellets. Any suggestions? TIA!!!

Try the DIY water bottle trap .. Small opening so perfect for wrasses and not the big boys.. Bait it with nutramar.. Done deal!

Thx Jami. I'll try that. Nutramar can be purchased at a LFS?

are you turning the flow off in the tank when you feed? If not you need too.... Only feed in the trap and no where else. It took me an hour to catch one once and it took me two weeks to catch another one

-Thanks Kevin. I've put the food inside the container that comes with the trap without feeding them two days in a row to no avail.

It took me 4 hours to get a 6 line out of a clients tank. Ended up draining the tank to catch him

Put a mirror in the back. When it sees itself it'll attack.

Oh no Bryan!!! I'd have a heart attack draining my tank just to catch that lil buger. I hope I have better luck tomorrow.

He'll get hungry only put food in there and in a no flow position so it don't come out if you ain't there to watch the trap close it so he don't eat behind your back go in
