you can just bend the barb back with a pair of needle nose pliers. I do it all the time when I fish and release.

Is a good place for you they small enough hooks size 20 or 22 to imitated midge flies . These hooks are so small that you will need a magnifying glass to see them

 

[Liam]

Armando,how quickly do you need them? I can get size 32 sent to me from england,may take a week or 2.They are pretied which is a bonus when they are that small,these hooks make a 22 look like a gaff

Orvis has a great selection of tiny tiny hooks, you can just snap the barb off and you'll be set.

Liam this place Orvis is right around the corner so let me try there first but thanks anyway.

Armando,
I used to live over a canal in Lowell and we'd have carp tournaments in my living room, but I never thought of fishing from my tank!!!
But before you go fishing, I used to have pretty good success using plexiglass. With a long piece of plexi, you can sometimes corner a fish and grab him with a big net. At least that worked for me a few times.
But, yeah, if you do go "fishing" I think you need to video it for us

 

[RichConley]

what are you trying to catch armando?

 

[~Flighty~]

Why do I get the impression that a lot of alcohol is involved in this decision? At least, it would be if I was talking about this.

I had an eel break 2 different hooks when I was trying to get an eel out of my tank a while back. I was using Bass size hooks! It was quite an experience going fishing in my reef! I finally had to break down the tank to get it out. Good luck with whatever you're trying to catch. I wish I got mine on video, it was pretty funny......

 

[Duds]

Armando you definately have to get it on video, What are you trying to catch?
Duds

 

[Armando]

i want to catch a goby clown hehe J/K.

 

[Armando]

OK so Orvis did not have barbless hooks. The guy told me to just snap it off. I got the #20 (or #22 not sure). It seems a little to big for some fish I wanted to catch. Stupid question - what should i use as bait?

 

[Richard]

sm piece of raw table shirmp with the point of the hook(just the tip) exposed.
What are you trying to catch?
