    I have a Yellow Tail Damsel I need to get out of my tank, he's bullying my Clown. Any suggestions on how to do this? I'm trying to keep from pulling my LR out, and creating a big mess. It would take two days to settle, and put more stress on my clown. LFS said he would take him off my hands, even gave me a bag and some rubber bands.

    Feed him. Flake preferably. So when it comes to the surface to eat, scoop it with a net.

    Didn't even realize they made fish traps. The food thing could possibly work....

    I've caught two fish with the homemade two liter bottle trap. Just make sure you put the trap in when you will be able to take it back to the lfs. I had to catch one fish twice, because the first time it was 10:00 PM and I didn't have the heart to leave him in the trap all night.
