Ok, I bought a sixline wrasse for my 50 gallon tank. I need him, because I have an abundance of worms and although I know worms can clean detritus they are getting a bit too abundant for me to stomach.
Anyhow - I have my new wrasse in a floating isolation box right now because when I put him in the tank, my Springer's Dottyback (Jared) attacks him and won't leave him alone. Jared cost me $7 and he's pretty, but I don't need him. Plus he beat up my yellow watchman so bad I had to give him away. So I'd like to take him out, give him to my Mom (she has a 150 gallon) and put the wrasse in, but I cannot net the sucker. He goes inside the LR and won't come out until the net leaves the tank. I have tried chasing him with one net into another but he is too smart. He just stays in the LR no matter how long I wait. I really do not want to deconstruct my tank to catch this guy. Anyone know a good trick for catching a dottyback. OR - is there a way to introduce the wrasse so that Jared will leave him alone?
