Easy to build. I highly recommend everyone have one on hand for whenever the need arrises. As long as the fish is still eating prepared food you can catch it........

I dont have any acrylic, but I was thinking maybe a 2L pop bottle? Or even a 20oz

 

[David Grigor]

There are several different fish trap models/styles you can do a search on RC. I think the rc link in my thread has some other alternatives.

Mine works awesome. I have no experience with other models to know how effective they are. Scrap acrylic should be easy to get ahold of and just about an kind of saw would do. Mine I oversized the top piece so it can sit on the lip of glass tanks so doesn't have to be on the bottom.

I have one that works great. How do I get it to you ?

I live a few blocks away from there. Any evening will work after 6pm. We can meet tonight if you need it right away.

I could do it at like 7:30 or 8. I'd prefer to wait until after rush hour. Thanks you. PM me a phone number and I'll give you a jingle later.

best way i have found is to not feed the tank for a day or two and the stick a net in the tank with food in it . they may be hesitant but in the end they can't resist.

LMAO Thats funny...........

 

[epidemic]

I thought so. I had a few drinks and just kept pushing it. I was laughing my butt off while I was typing

 

[Petunia]

ok back to the trap... i want to buy one. where can i get one?

 

[Sea monkey]

ive seen the trap at something fishy .

i'd seriously attempt the food in the net thing first though, has yet to fail me.

 

[HFG]

That works for me too. Most of the fish will come and eat from my hand anyhow. I just hold the net in there for a few minutes. Then hand feed as usual. It will take them a bit longer to come up... but they will, oh, they will. Muhuwahaha

 

[Sea monkey]

the ones that were harder i just left the net in there and walked away for a while ,after a day or two of doing that they got used to eating out of the net and it was a piece of cake . if they are hungry enough they will do anything. obviously works better with a big net.


I've also done it with a specimen container , they swim right inside and i scoop them up.

 

[Petunia]

the net doesn't work on my damsel. i'll try something else. maybe a clear soda jug will work.
