Because they eat everything in site. Did you catch one? You gonna keep it or sell it?

Some people setup a species tank. They are very beautiful and colorful but they can catch and eat large fish. They can actually crack a glass aquarium. So how did you catch them?

cheap easy and simple. take a water bottle, cut the neck off and stick the neck into the body of the bottle and glue it together. make sure the lid is off course. this will make a crabpot type of trap. stick it in the tank and voila! you can put brine shrimp etc inside to entice them. all those traps that the LFS sell never work so great.

So if they were bigger in size, you could use a 2L bottle?...
