For those trying to find a potentially effective fish trap, the Nyos fish trap worked for me. For some reasons the trap has two small openings where you can add fish food. The problem is they are directly opposite each other so if you put in food from the top it falls out of the bottom.

What I did was tape one opening so the food stays inside the trap. During my first day of testing I put some food into the trap and didn’t anything else. I returned later and saw the food was eaten. Today I put food into the trap and stood by and watched as half my fish went in and out of the trap. Eventually the flame angel I wanted to isolate went inside.

Fish are curious:
