    Red face To Catch A Fish

    This ****ed wrasse is incorrigible!

    I have my teardrop in the fish trap, and he dances all around it, but won't go near it. He won't get anywhere near my hands anymore, even when there's food. Looks like I am gonna have to use some window screen and egg crate to catch him. Never have I seen such a determined little turdy fish.

    Just another reason to not put a fast fish that you may not want in your tank.

    I hope he goes in there, today, I hope.

    I hope I hope I hope.

    How long have you had the trap in the tank? You may want to leave it in for a few days so he'll get used to it. It took a couple of days for me to catch a tang.

    Hey if I can catch a red coris with a home made trap, anything is possible. For me to catch mine, I couldn't be standing by the tank.

    It's been in the tank for like two weeks. I was *****ing about how he wouldn't go in there to a friend, and he went in while we sat there drinking beer. Maybe I need to have a party?

    Oh, I missed this!

    That little you know what sleeps underneath my blue ridge. Last night, I moved it. He was still sleeping. I got the net right by him and he woke up and split! ACK! He's kind of such a pain he's growing on me.
