jgf86123 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hey Scuito, most LFS will give you a few bucks for damsels, just an FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScuito Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Damsel has calmed down. I may have over reacted. Please delete this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 You never overreact when it comes to damsels, they are vile evil fish who do NOT belong in a peaceful aquarium. If you have a FOWLR or aggressive fish in your reef, its one thing, but, with peaceful fish, damsels do not belong. yes, i hate damsels, with a passion.

dsoz Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Good luck catching the little bugger... They know when you are trying to catch them and they hide in the rocks. You may have to remove everything from your tank and drain it to about an inch of water to be able to do it. LOL. I hate damsels!!! dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 the damsel just dont want to share his tank better get used to that! DAMNsel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltfinsax Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 You guys stop bad mouthing them poor little damnsels. My two yellow tails don't make much trouble, even when they have there eggs in place. The rest of the fish get use to them and there zones. All else fails get a Black sailfin bleenie. Mine hates damnsels and chases them allmost every chance he gets. But Yellow tails are a little better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danik Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I took my yellow tale out of my tank when I moved. Any body want a free yellow take? Pm me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScuito Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 My damsel got a little to close to the big female false perc and she bite him by his lips and shook him violently he hit the reef and he hit the glass and then he hit the road. he now resides in a hole in the rock work on the opposite side of the tank and hides every time they get near. Like I said he/she calmed down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mltnguyen Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (enforcer) Now that’s funny because I have seen this happen in my tank and I though it was just my fish. Glad to see that other clowns can hold there own as well. On the other note we no longer have any Damsels due to there aggressiveness and at some point if you plan on getting rid of him/her I wish you the best of luck.

Clowns are related to damsels, some clowns can actually get more aggressive than damsels, case in point is the Maroon Clown, they actually belong in tanks with larger aggressive fish, as they will try to bully anything that comes near them. So I've read, I'm personally not that impressed with maroon clowns, so don't plan on ever keeping one. But, I've read reports of maroons beating up on large angels, triggers and what not, so........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitricker Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 lol ... I had some damsels (dominoes I think) and they attacked me all the time. I borrowed a trap from Rose City to catch them. Takes a little patience, but it wasn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
