    So i bought a neon dottyback a few months back and it has been a nightmare! He has killed my 1 year old purple firefish and he has bit off the arm of my pistol,killed my peppermint and picked at my sixline wrasse. I really dont like him anymore and i want him out! I tryed doing the inverted bottle method with no luck, i put a lil bit of food in there and just left it there for 2 days or so, i cought everything but him..Am i supposed to starve the fish and then do it? Or would that be bad?

    And is there anything else i can do to get him out without ripping my rockwork out?

    When the traps don’t work I have had success with nets. I picked up several large nets and cut the netting off the handles and stitched them together to make a large square. I tied fishing line to the corners and laid it in the tank for 2 days. Then I put food in the middle and waited – when the fish went to the food I yanked the rope and caught it. Patience is needed but it works !
