Anyone got any clever ideas on catching a sick tang?


Hi. I've got myself a bit of a problem! I've got a 100g (UK) reef tank with a mix of both fish and corals, the problem is I have a Kole tang which is getting sicker by the day and however hard I try I cannot seem to catch the fish! I've tried keeping the nets in the tank everytime I feed the fish, trying to get them used to the nets but the tang is a clever fish and any movement from the nets send him scattering. I obviously cannot treat him in the tank and fear that time is running out. (He's got Ick by the way). Has anyone got any clever ways to catch him?

Allen, this is what we do. Takes two people. Get the brightest flash light you can, one stick, one net. Turn all the lights out (helps if it's dark out), wait about 1/2 hour, one person blinds the bugger with the light, be sure to keep it on his eyes. While the other one pushes him into the net with the stick.
You will have one grouchy tang, but he'll be in the Q tank.

Thanks, I'll give this a try tonight and let you know how I get on. My girlfriend wanted a quiet night in, now it looks as if she'll have on holding a torch!
