I've been trying to get a yellow tang out of my 55 for a year now. Every other fish has been trapped (most were let go, of course), however, this guy just won't get captured. I've tried both fish traps (one worked great for a chomis, and the tall skinny from Drs. F&S got a Talbot's yesterday!), light off method, not feeding, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! I can't empty my water, clams are on a "shelf" near the top.
OK, I have this dumb, desperate idea. He sleeps behind a wall that is next to the tank wall. It goes almost to the top of tank. It has 2 outlets. 18 inch high by 4 inches wide, or a 5 inch round cave in the front. I can plug the cave. I was thinking of a drop net for guppies and buying some weights. Of course the weights are lead. Thirsty minutes in the tank at most, I'm thinking before i can scare him in the net. who knows. Maybe I can drop another one on him while that exist is blocked off.
Any suggestions or concerns!
