Tankmatez bubble trap review (video)

[Saltysav96]

Hey all,
So I’ve been needing to catch my blue throat trigger for a while and did not want to tear the tank apart to do so.
I came across this fish trap a while ago and thought it was pretty cool and wanted to give it a try. Placed the order last week and received it last night. Came in a nice little bucket with a lid for storage which I thought was pretty cool. I bought a fish trap in the past was a acrylic box and let me tell you , it SUCKED! Broke it after the first use.

But this tankmatez bubble trap seems to be nicely made and well GETS THE JOB DONE! From the time I opened the box to the time I caught the fish was 10 mins tops.
one thing I wish I would have done was bought the magnetic version but the suction cups worked so no complaints!
Video speaks for itself!

Nice. Looks and works very much like the Nyos fish trap.

Its a great product. I have used one of their smaller bubble traps a few time with 100% success. My experience with it is very similar to your - 10 to 15 minutes tops.

And the team behind @TankMatez are good people - so you cant go wrong with one of their traps.

The trap they have is our basic fish trap. We have a licensing agreement with Nyos.

Awesome! I'm about to purchase one, they have so many models not sure which one is better. I was doing the DIY 2 liter bottle trap but it's not working. Been trying to catch my citron clown goby that's destroying my acans.

If i would have seen the magnetic version the first time that's what i would have went with. if you have some decent size fish i would go with atleast the 6 or 8" one so you can use it in the future.

tankmatez licensed them their basic concept and receives royalties on every sale. the nyo's is a older design from years ago.

I went with the 7 inch non-magnetic hydraulic fish whisperer with silent door trap/fish rattle, that seems to be their new line.
