SRC Member L0rdDracula Posted July 3, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted July 3, 2015 Good day to all, I have a leopard wrasse that is terrorising my tank and i wish to remove it but i dont an idea how to. Kindly advise which method is the best for catching fish? Thanks Regards, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member DottyClown Posted July 3, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted July 3, 2015 Can try using an isolation box, like the one below from Gemsurf, to trap it. If it is a greedy pig, use food to lure. If wrasse is chasing other fishes, then put a mirror inside to attract it to "attack" the reflection. Attach a line to the door, so when you release the line, the door drops down to close. Good luck fishing. http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/uploads/monthly_07_2012/post-20006-0-12954100-1341854283.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Supporter ReDDeviLs Posted July 3, 2015 SRC Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2015 leopard wrasse hard to trap, i am also facing this problem but mine isn't attracted to mirror as it isnt aggressive. i heard about bottle trap, yet to try yet.

tinykimchi Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Put fish food through the top hole of the trap. Normally after 2-3 days, fish will come into the trap to eat the food on floor of the trap. Then can catch the fish easier leh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
