Hi guys, im trying to get a convict tang out of my tank. Been trying for the last 4 hours and its not going to happen with the live rock still in the tank.

Has anyone got a trap i can borrow? or where i can purchase one
 
Depending on how big the Tang is, you may need to cut the neck for a slightly larger entrance. Just drop some food in and wait patiently!

How big is you Tang?
2L bottle "entrance" a bit small?

They range from 4cm to 8cm. Bear in mind that "the coke bottle method" is not limited to only coke bottles. I have used the larger water bottles successfully as well. And if you read above the picture I posted you will see I have mentioned cutting the "entrance" bigger depending on the size of the fish. I purely mentioned this to give the option instead of waiting and paying for a trap. It costs nothing and is worth a shot.

I have used this method for 3 years now while diving for my own fish as well as removing fish from fish tanks.
