Here's an idea just give me the fairy wrasse use the bottle trap and give it a few days. Feed only in the bottle. Also maybe put a mirror inside the bottom end of the bottle and he'll try to fight himself

 

[civicdemon]

the mirror trick is a good one, i was also thinking maybe making a fish trap with a seprate section then putting the fairy in the other section, the the six line would have to go in to fight him them blam lol. i dont know but i will try to get his *** all this week and until i catch him.

He'll go in the bottle just put food in there and be patient

What the Goob said.

Just put the trap in first; let the fish get used to it. Then drop some food in there and wait. Once the fish enters, yell "Gotcha b***h!" and do a dance.

LOL i have tried a bottle and a home made fish trap let it in there for a week and all the fish would go in it but the six line lol. i will try again i guess.

 

[Goober]

The six line has to eat sometime! Feed him his favorite food or I'll have to come over and grab your fairy wrasse from you

 

[civicdemon]

LOL ill try and see if i can get his *** this week, hopefully the fairy wrasse will be ok, im sure he got super stressed. But hey the refugium is full of food for him to eat. so he should recover fast.

 

[fishboi]

Mind if I ask what kind of fairy wrasse you got?

 

[civicdemon]

Its an Orange Back ! I really like the colors on it

The mirror method worked for me to catch my six line

 

[solitude127]

Well, after many many tries, I finally was able to catch my 6 line wrasse. I tried the bottle trap, a sliding door trap, netting and finally a trap with a door that rotates closed. I think was led to my success this time is not only the trap but the fact that I was able to put a mirror in the trap. After 20 hours, I came home to my Potters angel in the trap.

After watching for a while I noticed my 6 line would wander in the trap by not deep enough for me to close the door all the way. So finally, after my Potters and my PBT finally got tired of looking at themselves in the mirror, my 6 line ventured to the mirror and I was able to close the door on him.

You get the orange back at fish fantasy? I saw 2 really nice looking ones there the other day

 

[civicdemon]

Yup I did actually.

Hey guy I caught his ***. I.put.the fish trap in and took a couple hours. I put nori in it so all the range would go in and get him useto it and finally he went in and I got him. He scratched him self up a bit trying to squeeze out but he's caught none the less and be chilling with the skimmet.
Do you guys think I should leave the fairy wrasse in the refugium a bit longer to recover or should I move him to the display now?

 

[BeanMachine]

If no one else is aggressive I would put him in the display. Would be more comfortable and more room to shhhwwwiim.

Have some six line sushi!
