Catching my CBB

Starting picking at my acans fish trap my best bet?

Yes, one of the best things I ever bought was my fish trap.

They are very aggressive eaters so the fish trap will definitely work. If You don’t have a trap and he is also taking prepared foods out of the water column then put the food in a net. That’s how I move mine around.

My cbb starting picking at my acans too so I removed the acans and made a new tank for them lol

It took me 3 tries to get one that didn't eventually start eating my rock flower nems. The good news is that resale value on these guys really appreciates once you have them trained on prepared foods. Can usually sell them for 2 or 3 times what you paid.

Caught plenty of fish in this one:

Amazon product

I like how it collapses down for storage.

Have a similar one on the tank now. Been pretty tough so far.

It took about a day to catch two pyramid butterflies. Feed exclusively out of the trap to force them into it (or try). I turned off all the pumps when I do this just like I would typically do (they know when its time to eat when the pump goes out).

Couple of tangs took a few days. One fish that never went in were my clowns.

Thanks everyone he’s caught
