6 Line Wrasse Has Got To Go

[dabgood21]

Any advice for capturing a 6-line that loves to eat? I'm hoping that I won't have to take all of my corals/rock out of my tank to do it.

It's always the first fish up in the morning, picking at all of my little copepods and such. Maybe an early morning ambush could work? Fish traps that actually work?

Can't wait to recolonize my tank and let them breed w/o such a voracious hunter on the loose. They don't show up in my filter pads like they used to.

Everyone that see him is always surprised how big he is. I'm giving him to my LFS who put up a new display tank, will be much happier, and I'll still get to see him

Thanks

A fish trap would work. I just caught my tang in one and the fourline I have was going in there too. Just make sure you squirt the food into the trap and within a few days they will be going in no problem. Good luck!

I would say def morning ambush is the best plan of attack..try throwing some food in a big net even. I have caught fish this way or even have the net about 6-7" from the top sprinkle some food and when he goes for it just scoop him up.
