Field report and video on the "Jebao AL 150 LED" ATI

How a marine aquarium is created Part 40: Catching fish from the aquarium

Sometimes the day comes when you have to part with a fish. Be it because it goes for corals, or because fish just don't get along with each other, or as in our case, that a fish is too big for the aquarium. This is especially noticeable in the case of doctors because of the restless behaviour that then occurs. The best way to deal with this is with a so-called fish trap. You can read about our experiences in the article and video.
