Uploading pics to photobucket today I found a pic I shared on a fishtank forum that I thought you guys might get a kick out of.

Last year I had a bad bad fish in my tank. Nomatter what size fish I put in, this little guy would harrass them. Everytime I dumped some shrimp in there he would eat him. One night I decided he needed to come out. I tried netting him and fish traps for a week with no luck. I said screw it Im going fishing. Used my sons Shrek rod with a very very small hook and a shrimp. Hooked him in about 10 seconds.

Ran into the same thing in my 125 tank with lots of coral. Couldn't remove a large Yallow Tang. Ended up with my daughters pole removed the barb added a large chunk of clam and wham he hit it. I fliped him into a net and he was off to a friends tank in a few minutes. Saved me a good chunk of money....:fishing:

That is so cool, I thought that only I did stiff like that. Did you release him into the wild or set up a seperate tank?

Don't ever release a fish not from the wild to the wild, how do you think the fish problum got in to florida, and the bird and reptile problem.

Yes, you're right, unless a species is native to an area it should not be released into the wild. My bad.

There you go. Sometimes you got to bring out the FHB. Here was my unwanted friend. He decided to move my Watermelon Zoanthids for me and take hits on my Yellow watchman Goby.

It took me months to hunt him down and finally trap this guy.
