do you have a trap ?
Nope. I'll look into one. Im sure it'll catch Eli first. She's been stealing food from the coral.
I got a few things to order. So, fish trap on menu.

And she's gobbled up on some frozen fish mix.

Critter keeper with holes drilled and some fishing line. I can slowly pull from the couch or a chair if I need to. Currently a fish in there because it's not scary. Going to get that one next. Already got a damsel out. Works pretty good for cheap diy.

Some fish are truly easy to catch. Wrasse... we'll find out. I've had to rip my tank apart to remove a sixline. All rock had to exit.

Sixlines are extreme PIAs to catch. Fairy wrasses are usually motivated by food when I have to catch them I put a large net in the tank and let it sit there for a bit so the wrasse gets used to it then I squirt some of its favorite frozen food into the net then slowly angle the net so the wrasse can get to the food and they usually just swim right into it. Might take more than one try but usually not Lol

I'll keep this in mind. Sixlines must be special and in a league of their own.

Just tell her "well, the fish refused. Now you gotta pick some to put over there"
I moved my skinny Citron Goby. He was getting bullied and was getting really skinny. I'm fattening him back up before anyone else moves over.

My sixline was simple… he slept behind a rock near my overflow and I just went over in the middle of the night and put my net next to him and scooted him in my net with my scraper… he never woke up till I pulled the net outta the tank then he freaked out! Hard sleeper haha..

I wish mine was that simple. I guess he knew his time was up!
