Darn flame angel!

[Oscaror]

I want acans and scolys and blastos and clams, but instead I have a really nippy flame angel.

And that's not gonna stay that way! How do you get it out, I'm thinking of making a minnow trap out of a 2L pop bottle.
But are there easier methods, please, I want a clam ;_;

Start feading with a net eventually he will swim right in to get the food and wammo youll have your fish

I've caught every fish I've wanted with that method but mine aren't shy when it comes to feeding. Bunch of fattys over here in my tank. I had a juvenile Angel once I had to bend net handle over and hang off brace leave it in for a couple days only removing to put food in and eventually on day four or so it went in as soon as I put it in with food and wammo got that bugger

I haven't had any luck with the net method. I built a small acrylic trap with a sliding door. You throw some food in there, wait for him to swim in, and release the door. I have caught several fish this way.

i caught my flame angel 3 weeks ago and returned it for a much nicer midas blenny lol. i used a big net about 2 feet by 1&1/2 feet. i put the net in the tank before the lights came on, so it was in there about 4 hours before i tried to actually use it. I noticed he kept going into this same corner where i can at least trap him in that corner. About 30 minutes of very patiently waiting for him to get in the right spot i spun the net 90 degrees and he swam right into it. It was a monofilement net or w/e. The one i used is actually designed for catching tropical fish in the wild. The opening is the 2 feet by 1&1/2 feet, it then drops in size to about 3 inches by 3 inches and goes back like a stocking about 2 feet. The design is so that the fish swims in the net and goes all the way through it and then they get stuck.... GOOD LUCK !!
