No seriously does anyone have any tips catching that thing, he has been going after every thing moving in tank. He needs a time out

how about taking advantage of their habit to feed right from the surface: position a net half-way submerged for a few days along the rim, and feed flake food or sinking pellets into the net for a few days.

good luck!

Fish trap and don't feed anything else, add a cheap dollar store mirror to the back of the trap and it is likely to go after it's reflection as well.

I caught my little devil sixline in a fish trap. Fishing line held the lid open. Just fed from the trap for a few days and then he got brave and entered.

Sorry, but I had to tear down my tank and drain the water to catch those suckers, they were hiding in the rocks. Hopefully someone else has a better solution.

I was able to catch all 4 though and they are still in my tank now.
