What is your favorite fish trap to catch that fish that does not fit your ecosystem. How effective,easy use and other info you would like to share. I am trying to catch a dwarf angelfish out of a reef and looking for some good traps since from my other post people said traps were probably the easiest way.
 
This is a picture from literally ten years ago when I first built it... used it countless times over the years. It's a "critter keeper" from petco/petsmart. Drilled holes at the bottom and attached an egg-crate door with zip ties. Drilled another hole at the top and routed a string through to pull the door shut. Lastly, drilled a hole in the back of the trap that I can run airline tubing into in order to inject food directly into the trap.

haha i just spent the money on a aqua medic trap 66$ but hopw it works and then that will make it worth it. I always seem to be trying to catch a fish. I should just throw a fishing line in there hah.

You'll like the AquaMedic. Just put in your tank for @3 days without trying to trap the fish, gradually start feeding in the trap and you'll have it made. I caught a Mystery Wrasse with mine after 3-4 days of feeding. Worked like a charm. They make great AE boxes as well;)
 
i caught the lemonpeel angelfish!!!! took 2 days with the trap just in the tank and not even a day of trying to trap I put the lid of the trap on for like 4 hours after work with two attempts and caught him. Now i gotta see what i can do with him. Can I keep him in the box until this weekend when I make my trip to the fish store.
 
Cool, I'm glad it worked for you.
