Had a cleaner wrasse take a liking to my clams :thumbs_down:so I had to get him out. Those of you that have seen my tank know that using a net is what you would call mission impossible! :whew: I want to bring my new clam home so I had to get this guy out quick, so who do you call?... Thats right! Ace..:ph34r:
after some searching, we could not remember what happened to his fish trap so he found some scrap and quickly built a new one,, I took it home and guess what I used for bait,,,? thats right. my clams!:bighug:.. I placed them in the trap, set the line and went and made me some cheese, crackers and summer sausage and sat in front of the tank, ... by the time I had gotten to the third cracker, I had also caught a fish in my trap,
The cleaner wrasse is now yucking it up solo in my fuge and my wife will have her Christmas present on time:applause:
just goes to show, you build the right trap and use the right bait you can catch anything:)

Kristy fished out that annoying yellow tail cleaner wrasse we had with a water bottle/fishing line trap. The stupid cleaner wrasse never actually seem to clean any fish, but it did a job on some of our SPS polyps. It went to a fellow MAASTard's FOWLR tank. Anyway, try the bottle fish trap. - Mike
