Catching a domino damsel

[jonnyblaze]

Does any one have any ideas on how to catch this out of my 125 gallon tank? I have tried with the net but Its  impossible  without wrecking my tank. I even tried fishing for him didnt like the hook lol any help would be great. Thanks guys

Interesting video. Especially the celebration dance at about the 5:00 mark, but I am sure we have all done that dance at some point. He did say that he has not fed his fish in 2 days, if you float the net for a few days so that the fish get used to it, then feed and capture 2 days later...? Worth a shot?

i fishd out 3 damsels a few years ago , out of a 75 with a tiny trout egg hook and some flourocarbon fishing line 4 lb test i could barely see the hook or line and put a little peice of silver side on it small enough they mouth the whole thing . you will have to desposal of them after , i doubt once they get hooked they will survive

EW! I had one of those in my 110, all he did was harass everyone! It took me a few tries but i got him. after weeks with trying with a net!
2 liter pop bottle rate at the top (the neck of the bottle) and where it meets the full diameter middle. I cut it with knife almost all the way around so the top of the bottle bent and opened fully , but still enough plastic to keep it attached. Cut 2 holes beside each other on the top and the Middle section and put fishing line through the top part and then tie to the middle section, so when it was in the water the flap was open; then pumped the bottle with food, but when you yanked on the string straight up it pulled the lid down tight onto the bottle and lifted straight up. Took me 3 tries. first one broke the fish line and third caught the bastard! pulling it out of the tank he jumped and fell behind the tank. Needless to say I couldn't reach him with a net, so a day later the shop vac sucked him up haha..
the spear method would be awesome... my girlfriend did not approve tho hahah
Good luck
