Best way to trap six line wrasse

[DoctaReefer]

I have a bc 29 with lots of corals at rock, the six line is the only fish I have in there. What's the best way to catch him without moving everything out, he's to smart for the net.

Have you tried the inverted bottle trap??? If he is the only fish in there....I would put the empty bottle in there and not feed him for a few days. Then squirt some food in the inverted bottle....his curiosity will get the better of him!

Yea, I normally use a similar method. I have a fish trap but this method should work also. Just do not feed for a day or so and it shoud be relatively easy. Catching wrasse is easier than most fish.

What does your trap look like?

This article is aimed at cichlid lovers, but the trap is the same.
