remove some of the rock and pin him a corner near the top.works for me.or you can put some food and go after him. | |

Get a fish trap and set it in the tank unbaited. Then, do not feed the fish for a few days. After a few days without food, take the fish trap out of the tank, bait it, and place it back where it was earlier. Then, wait and watch. Good luck! | |

Box him in a corner (with two sheets of eggcrate) in an area where there is no rock for him to hide in. The left or right front corners of the tank are an option assuming you have no rock there. I've done this a couple of times and it works rather well. | |

A1amp we have other tanks that we could put him in. It looks as though we wont have to take him out afterall. I think it was just a "show who's boss" situation. They have been fine all day...We will have to wait and see...
Thanks everyone for their suggestions.  | |
