Fish Trap Sucess! I Got You

Made a DIY 2 liter trap today so I could move my purple dottyback to the sump while my clown and yellow tail damsel got used to their new home, he has been terroizing the damsel. Only took about 20 minutes and very little stress to the dottyback.

Cut a two liter bottle in half where the top part of the label is, turn it around and push it back into the bottle. Depending on the size of the fish u may have to cut the cap part off and make he hole bigger, my fish was small so I left it alone. The fish check in but they don't check out lol, they get confused and can't find their way back out of the bottle.
