Catching marine tropical fish for my fish tank. DIY
Basically me showing how I catch tropical fish to put in my 75 gallon tank. Right now I have in the tank: 3 neon gobies, bridled goby, Blue angel, French Angel, Pudding wife wrasse, Princess parrotfish, Flamefish, Highhat, Black olive snail, 3 turbo snails, coral banded shrimp, 2 peppermint shrimp, emerald crab, cherry crab, and Arrow head crab. I catch all the fish for my tank, and they are all native to florida.

i live in Florida and would love to catch neon gobies cus they clean fish or so ive heard, r u near the jacksonville area?

wow, i’m surprised there isn’t people bitching in a whiney voice “you’re stealing gods creatures from their environment, boo hoo”
this video could have done without the music… would of rather hear what you were saying instead of reading it…
Hey I live in Florida what beach are you at?

oh…nice fish btw
can you buy those shrimp and would are some good fish that are not all that comemen but are easy to keep for a 20 gallon tank?
I did and that was better without music, hows your fish doing now, caught any new intresting ones??
Thanks for the reply. I used to work in a Saltwater Fish shop so I know how much they cost! You are lucky to have those… I live in Texas and all I can find are striped damsels and peppermint shrimp. Tell me exactly how you trap them in at 10-15 feet. This is very interesting to me. Thanks in advance! -Jason
I only had to go in about 10 to 15 ft. deep. it was really easy.
Look up prices for juvenile french and Blue angelfish. you’ll see! : )

Google image “Juvenile Princess parrotfish” you will find the answer.

@PimpJuice5100 It just makes owning tropical fish all the more interesting!
We strive for knowledge, and learning how things work makes us less ignorant.
And I sympathize with the price of fish, they are indeed expensive.
Awesome idea man, i never thought of catching my own. Fish are damn expensive.
@catfishhunter2009 yea doggie its legal

I agree. Fish are expensive.
I’m truly lucky.
