To catch a firefish

No worries, BBS will work, long as it's alive. An avid fisherman myself which believes in live baits!

So I have two firefish both of which swam into my net tonight as I tried to catch my coral beauty angel. I finally caught the angel using this.... Once I thought this up it only took 30 minutes.

2 coat hangers and some left over net I used to make a cover at one point.

The Bonneville racers on have nothing on this guy... nets are hopeless. Hope he likes the brine shrimp I'm hatching.

Nice fish! What kind of firefish is that?

N. magnifica, and a nice one.

I've been trying to catch mine with a trap for 3 weeks due to a rapidly approaching tank move. I'm resigned to catching him after all the rock and coral are removed. :-)

So I need to get my firefish out of the DT. Problem is that he's not very food motivated. He's perfectly happy to eat pods all day.

My fish trap has been in the tank for 2 days with LRS reef frenzy and the firefish hasn't given it a second glance. I'll try mysis tomorrow. Any other suggestions on what to bait it with?

Check out this trap! It's the clean version of my home made pet container trap![emoji23]
