I’ve been trying to catch one of my pesky clowns for over a week....nothing worked. Standard traps, net(s). Out of complete frustration I came upon the bubble trap! What a great product, and innovative. I was able to catch my clown within the hour. I’m not affiliated by any means with this company just wanted to give them a shout out on their awesome product, and figured it might help someone else out. If you’re in this hobby, this product a must as far For anyone in the hobby!

I bought one. Every time I put it in the tank the fish hide behind the rocks and will not come out. No amount of feeding and no amount of hours will get them to trust it. I can’t leave it in 24/7 because it has metal brackets on it

Yea I tried to buy one and never received it. Called and said it was on its way. Had to cancel my credit card order. Got an email a month later asking did I receive it and how I liked it.
If I knew it had metal on it I never would have placed the order?
Borrowed one from lfs and caught and removed the fish within 2 days.
Ended up buying the same one the lfs had for future use.

I don’t have any on mine whatsoever. I believe i might have a newer model.
and the mirror is removable if you don't want it. It took less than a week to get mine. From Colorado —->Central Florida. I posted a pic above of the model I revived.

I got mine about a month ago. It’s a novel idea don’t get me wrong. My fish are just terrified of it. It also looks very homemade (which is fine). Mine uses the blue styrofoam insulation from Lowe’s. Still has the print on it and everything. Looks like it was hand cut with scissors. Again....fine. Doesn’t need to look like it was machined one a laboratory to work....just hasn’t worked out for me.

They are actually sending me a new float piece, should be about a week. My float looks machined as is. I guess I’m lucky? I had in my tank for an hour for them to get used to it....put bait in it, caught my first fish.. and in about another half hour I caught another, with no bait. I hope it works for you!

I had a really bad experience with Tankmatez. First trap they sent leaked like the proverbial sieve. Not surprising since I later earned they are shipping prototypes, not a finished mass-production product. They offered to send a “free” replacement for which I got billed $25.00 shipping. And like several of you I found that the fish would not go near the new trap. Long story short: I got my money back, but I had to go public on FB and debate the owners. It’s a promising design, but by no means perfected (IMO). And their customer service needs serious attention.
