THE LATEST PROBLEM!!!!!!!

[JDSmith]

I hate that I seem to have a different problem every day, but here is the latest. My favorite fish a Neon Dottyback has jumped over the back wall of my 29 BIOCUBE. He is swimming around the pump and into the bottom of the second chamber where I cannot get to him. He is so fast that by the time I reach into the pump chamber, he has fled into the chamber where I cannot reach him. Do you'all have any suggestions as to how I could catch him? I would really hate to lose him!

I've heard of people making little traps out of water bottles. Cut the top off and flip it around put it back into the other end and put food inside. It'll be hard with your limited space but it might work.

Good luck.

had the same problem w/ one of my clowns
what I did was use a watwr bottle w/top cut off to make larger opening a couple of holes to tie on some string apiece of rock inside to keep from floating to top / alittle food & presto fish inside grab string to remove bottle now back inside tank now have small strip of foam between lid & btop of res area so they cannot do that anymore
hope this helps & good luck :roll:
