Homemade DIY Aquarium Fish Trap (Video does not always work in high quality)
Posted on Jun 01, 2009 under Fish Aquariums |
You never have to chase your extremely fast fish around the tank with a net for 2 hours anymore! Everything you need to make it with is already at your house and will take 2 minutes to make. Trust me, this trap will not waste your time.

I don’t mean to …
I don’t mean to tell you how to keep your fish, but I highly recommend not feeding your Ghost Knife Fish Neon Tetras. This is because mainly in my opinion, the Neon Tetra is a fish that should be living safely in an aquarium, rather than be fed to carnivorous fish. It is not meant to be a feeder fish, which is what I do recommend feeding your Ghost Knife if you do wish to feed it live foods.

Although I know you had other ideas in mind for the “fish trap”, keep looking at this idea for other uses. I;m impressed with your invention process, well done!

this is good. but …
this is good. but its much easier with a gatorade bottle because you dont have to cut the top part off because its already big enough for a fish to swim in it. then all you have to do is cut sort of around the middle and do the same steps. i usually leave my trap for a while to catch as many as possible. nice fish though.

Yes but I like to cut that top part of so that it makes it easier for the fish to enter.

nice but you could …
nice but you could just unscrew the cap and cut at the first line instead of going through all the trouble on cuting off the head.

I also have a …
I also have a saltwater aquarium and I too have a worm, (I call them bristle worms), but I don’t think it will work unless the worm in your aquarium is very large. But it if this is a tiny little worm, forget about it. The odds are that it will not go in. This trap is really made for fish.

This is a wonderful idea, THANKS!
I have a saltwater tank with fire worms, I am going to try this for sure! Thanks again!!

I didn’t do this so …
I didn’t do this so that I can catch my aquarium fish for fun. As I said at the beginning of the video, you only make this trap if you have a fish that is way too fast to catch in a net. That way, you don’t have to chase the fish around the entire aquarium with a fish net. There are times where you have to remove the fish from the aquarium for many different purposes. This could be to move it to another tank or to a hospital aquarium. Never for the fun of it.

other than the fact …
other than the fact that you are using a “catch to eat” trap its all good. I’ve used this type to capture fish in the river. why would you use a that kind of trap on your pets? regardless of what you may think you can put significant stress on your tetras. As hardy a species that they are they, just like guppies, can be easily stressed out enough to die. Stick to using this while catching to eat not catch and release.

That is were your …
That is were your wrong. When you are disturbing the fish by taking it out of it’s environment, osmotic stress is absolutely being put on the fish. It’s not serious, but leaving the fish in there too long can inflict some damage.
