How do you catch fish?

ddevlin · 01/29/2006, 05:03 PM

I am trying to catch 4 Green Chromis in my tank to give to my neighbor but I can't seem to get them anywhere near the net. What methods do you use to catch fish? I have a big one too (net & tank).

try feeding them something that floats, but have the net sitting in the water and suprise them. good luck

put myisis shrimp in the net and they might go for it. I got a few in my 125 reef this way.

I tried that and they won't come near it.

I found an old skimmer body and cut it to make it work. I was excited that the only thing I had to buy was the 1/2" PVC. I have it in there now for them to get use to it so hopefully buy tonight I will catch em!

Fishing rod or dynamite stick works very well!
