a couple of months ago there was a thread about caes & how to catch them! we had to catch & rehome ours as he had grown big & was turning very mean.......bullying our poor corys constantly. well finally about a month ago we caught him..........thanks patwa( & others) i used your bottle trap & advice & it wasnt easy (as you said)
every single fish in our tank that would fit down the neck of the soft drink bottle went in there.....at least once (esp the neons they were drawn to it like a magnet!!!) we spent days letting stuck fish out & resetting the trap. even the tiger barbs which were much too big would spend ages twirling round trying to fit themselves down the bottle neck!!!
all except mr cae. finally after 2 weeks (yes 2 weeks) of careful watching we caught mr cae in the bottle trying to murder our corys who also were trapped in there at the same time.
off to the lfs & a new home
goodbye mr cae.......although you were mean we miss you & hope your new home is much better suited to your requirements :D
