A better mouse trap
Had a cleaner wrasse take a liking to my clams
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!
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..
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!
.. 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
just goes to show, you build the right trap and use the right bait you can catch anything
My Reef is Alive and well Despite My repeated Daily attemps to kill it!!

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
