Clownfish jerk jail

Had to trap our PBT and banish to the sump for 3 weeks when we introduced our purple tang last year. Model citizen when released from lockup...well, as model a citizen as a PBT is capable.

 

I need to do this with my sailfin

 

Those clowns can be very mean to new friends in the tank! Even against there own!

 

Haha! I've had to do this with my female clown a few times.

 

I didn't do that, but I did tape a mirror to the side of the tank for a tang to fight for a couple of days! Worked like a charm and he forgot all about the new fish.

 

How long did it take to catch him abs what did you use?

 

Not sure if this was directed at me but I will answer anyway. Used a fishtrap and took about 15 minutes. We have had to trap several fish over the past couple of years and has always worked well. We used one of these:

Fish Trap - Aqua Medic - Bulk Reef Supply

 

Do you put any food in their to lure them in than

 

Yep. Either nori, krill or club food depending upon the target species.

 

Even our former fat 11" sailfin would barely fit in the trap (he is still with the member we trapped him for). the more aggressive the fish the easier they are to trap as they want to be first to the food! BTW, cleaning magnets make a great way to attach the trap to the wall so you don't have to put it on the bottom or balance it on rocks.
