I have a clown fish that is wreaking having in my tank. He has killed the last three additions to my tank. I made a bottle trap and a trap from a critter cage. Bait the traps and wait days, just about every fish will go in except this obstinate clown. Is there anything else I can do to catch this fish besides removing all rock from the tank?!

My clowns would attack my hand when it is within striking distance of their crib. They will swim in and around my palm to attack. I literally tap their forehead to stop them from attacking me. They are slow swimmers. So easy to catch.
Anyway, they like mysis. Maybe you can get them out of hiding with mysis?

Any chance your clown sleeps out in the open? Mine always sleep in the corner of the tank for some crazy reason so at nighttime it is easy to net them.

They for in the BTA. I tried being them at night but was concerned that they were to close to it.
