    I just ordered a pair of Yasha White Ray Shrimp Goby's.  I currently have a Yellow Tang in my 29 gallon, although I like him for his algae eating I don't care for his attitude so he has gotta go.  When I had my 125 gallon running I built a fish trap to catch unwanted fish, it actually worked pretty well but is waaay to big to use in my little nano.  After doing some reading I have decided to just fish it out, rather than tare my whole tank apart to try and net him.
    Just got back from the local bait shop and picked up some of these, I filed the bard off of one of them and plan on using a little piece of krill as bait.
    Don't worry!  I am going to video tape it so everyone can watch.  I feel this method will not only be easier on my tank and other inhabitants but really less stressful on the tang as well.  Stay tuned for FISHING WITH WAVERZ.....

    No way he can swallow the hook, the hook is waay bigger than the opening of his mouth.

    I did this with a luner wrasse once took a while to get him to go for the bait as he was very paranoid from me trying to net him for weeks prior. The tang police are going to be all over this one! LOL

    I caught a Engineer goby once with a hook on some fishing line.  It was easy but dunno how easy a tang might be.  I just put some silverslide on the hook and about a minute later...bam and i had him.
