Nothing gets the heart racing quite like knowing that you have to remove a coral hungry fish from an established reeftank.
Well planned reef has got one thing that didnt go quite to plan.. the friendly copperband has turned out to be a coral serial killer. He has done his dash and it is time to go!
So, how is it you remove a fish from a large established tank? Stay tuned to find out!

Brother, that was textbook! What a beautiful snag. Very minimal stress to the fish and I know how important that is when it comes to CopperBand Butterflies. I love the 4, 5, 6+ net trick. Just build a net corral to keep the fish confined to an area and blocking off escapes into the rock work as best as possible. Thanks for the videos Cam and Team! Nothing but love for Gallery Aquatica TV!

Me too. I put them in most tanks and I almost never have the problem of them eating corals. This one was the rare exception. Cam

I’d have left him in there… tanks big enough to sustain a few nips and a healthy CBB is worth it. Looking at the tank you’d never tell.

I’ve been trying to catch a psychopathic azure damsel for the past few weeks, as it won’t let me put anything new in the tank. It attacks fish, corals, my hand, and even killed a peppermint shrimp last week. Every time I put a net in the tank, it dives into the rock work and refuses to budge. I’ve tried the Nyos trap, but he was too smart, so now waiting for an Aqua Medic trap to be delivered. I’m at the stage where I’m thinking of making a miniature spear gun with rubber bands and a toothpick! I’ll never get another damsel again.

@vascojardim6703 Жыл бұрын

I have used both traps and have been able to catch all fish I want without a sweat, including difficult ones like six line wrasses. I typically put the trap in and for a whole week simply feed inside the trap without even trying to catch the fish. Only after I see my target going in and out several times and feeling comfortable will I catch it. Typically by that point I will also catch a couple of tangs at the same time as those pigs never leave the trap once they get accustomed to being fed inside it 😂

Isnt that a bit much? The poor thing is probably just hungry. And considering he’s already so thin, he probably was. Besides, there is a Coral Beauty Angel in there and I think thats a risk in itself too.

The coral beauty is a risk. The client had definitely seen the copperband eating corals so we were asked to remove it. It went to a good home. Cam
