Brother, that was textbook! What a beautiful snag. Very minimal stress to the fish and I know how important that is when it comes to CopperBand Butterflies. I love the 4, 5, 6+ net trick. Just build a net corral to keep the fish confined to an area and blocking off escapes into the rock work as best as possible. Thanks for the videos Cam and Team! Nothing but love for Gallery Aquatica TV!
That's why they call you the fish guy! Well earned nickname :D
Haha, to catch a fish you have to think like a fish😂
Makes it look so easy. Nice tactics
Thanks Josh!
Very impressive demonstration Cam!
Thanks Rich😊
Excellent job at catching that fish! 🤯👍 It even seemed easy [normally is real headache] 😂 - Ramón 🇲🇽
Sweet 👍 I bet you couldn't catch another fish that quick 😅 You made it look simple 👌
Bravo! Going to try that next time
Wow! Great video. You pros make things look so easy 😅
One of my favorite fish. So unique. Hope it finds a good home. 👌🏻✌🏻🙏
Beautiful fish...hope he enjoys his new home🐟💙
wow that was ace
Excellent job Cam 👍🍻🇺🇸
I'll re-home him Cam. Can you deliver? 🏴
Grafton is a little too far for our courier sorry😂
@@GalleryAquaticaTV I know there is a Grafton in Aus, but I'm in Scotland. Still a problem? Gavin
Oh that was quick.
I love Chelmon rostratus ❤️
Me too. I put them in most tanks and I almost never have the problem of them eating corals. This one was the rare exception. Cam
Live the little whooooops 😂😂😂 I'm sure it will be OK..
Nice technique! I usually wait until an hour or two after lights out.
Not an easy job, good stuff!
Cheers, I was a little lucky😉 Cam
Blue tang is stunning and odd with no print!
Looks too easy! Great job!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve been trying to catch a psychopathic azure damsel for the past few weeks, as it won’t let me put anything new in the tank. It attacks fish, corals, my hand, and even killed a peppermint shrimp last week. Every time I put a net in the tank, it dives into the rock work and refuses to budge. I’ve tried the Nyos trap, but he was too smart, so now waiting for an Aqua Medic trap to be delivered. I’m at the stage where I’m thinking of making a miniature spear gun with rubber bands and a toothpick! I’ll never get another damsel again.
I have used both traps and have been able to catch all fish I want without a sweat, including difficult ones like six line wrasses. I typically put the trap in and for a whole week simply feed inside the trap without even trying to catch the fish. Only after I see my target going in and out several times and feeling comfortable will I catch it. Typically by that point I will also catch a couple of tangs at the same time as those pigs never leave the trap once they get accustomed to being fed inside it 😂
Wahoo ❤😂🎉
Bravooooooo
bro... that was too easy... LOLOLOL
I know right, it would have made a better video if it took me longer😂
I’d have left him in there… tanks big enough to sustain a few nips and a healthy CBB is worth it. Looking at the tank you’d never tell.
look like your done once or twice
It’s one of my most requested services😂
Isnt that a bit much? The poor thing is probably just hungry. And considering he’s already so thin, he probably was. Besides, there is a Coral Beauty Angel in there and I think thats a risk in itself too.
The coral beauty is a risk. The client had definitely seen the copperband eating corals so we were asked to remove it. It went to a good home. Cam
Good job?
I think so, but your question mark makes you seem unsure…
@@GalleryAquaticaTV Should have been Good Job ! 😊
