anyone have a good fish trap?

barbless hook with some bait and some line? never tried it myself but I have heard people have.

 

feed it garlic or treat the tank its in thats what i do

 

Getting it out is the best idea.  Wait a couple of hours after the lights go out.  Turn the room lights on and let the fish slowly start moving around.  See if you can get it when it is not as eager to move as fast.

 

is this a reef tank ? how much rock work you have or coral do u have ? if its a fish only tank leave it and treat the whole tank if you do move it add garlic to your food will help kill the ick just don't try to put to much stress on the fish trying to catch it might make things worse

 

Once again, IMO it is better to stress one fish than infect the whole tank.

 

getting a freshwater fish out is a lot easier than getting out a fish in a reef tank that's full of coral and live rock i have 5 thousand in my 90 gallon and i don't move my fish i treat the set up i don't even own a qt tank i have never lost a fish due to ick some times u cant get the fish out and have to treat the tank

 

you can make a dyi fish trap pretty easy i think waverz made a pretty nice one migth ask him i could be wrong

 

Take a 2 liter cut the top off. cut a hole just big enough for the fish to fit throughin the top then invert the top and stick it back in the body and wala a cheap homemade fish trap
