How to remove yellow watchman goby?

[Parker Kufel]

I took a small glass vase, cut the corners of a zip lock bag and sunk it into the vase. I rolled the sides over the top of the base and secured it down with one of my hair bands. I put the vase in the tank and let it just sit for a day so he could get used to it. Then I let the wrasse go hungry for about a day and only added food into the trap. If he wanted to eat, he was going to have to swim inside it. I sat and waited for him to swim in then quickly grabbed the vase out before he had a chance to figure out how to swim out of it.

What do you mean cut the corners of the ziploc?

I cut the ends off of the bag like this. This is so the fish can swim through. Then I put it in the vase and roll the top down and secure it with a hair band. The fish is able to swim through the hole but once inside the vase gets disoriented and can’t easily swim back out through the holes.

That’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing
