FlyGTI Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Reefers, lend me yer ears. I need to catch a blenny. He's a bicolor, his name is Goober, and he's got to move to another tank. He sleeps on or in rocks at night, I'm not sure which one, and he's generally being irritating and needs to go irritate other tankmates, as opposed to the ones he's got now. So...how do I do it? I was going to try the flashlight at night trick, but for once, I slept pretty soundly. Woke up and it was light outside. So much for the element of surprise. Time is of the essence here folks. Help me out! Later. Link to comment
Korbin Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Get a clear water bottle or pop bottle and get rid of the label. Cut off the top just where the bottle starts to get wide, flip it over and glue it back onto the bottle. You will have what looks like a container with a funnel sticking into it. Put the blenny's favorite food inside - preferably live, so he can see the motion, and wait. I caught a fairy wrasse and an algae blenny this way. Link to comment
jdsabin1 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Korbin is right, I have a trap made like that if you want to try it. Let me know... Link to comment
FlyGTI Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 That's pretty wicked, guys. I like it. We'll give that a try here pretty quick. Link to comment
Korbin Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 It helps to put some small holes in the bottle so you can sink it with no air bubbles. Link to comment
Toooloud Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I have tried that with my Bi Color Blennie.. and it did not work.. I finally had to just move the whole rock that he was hiding in into the new tank. Link to comment
