Bad to the Bone Dominio

[baddominio]

My dominio damsel is a TOTAL Jerk, Bully, and every other bad word. I hate him. I want to take him out of the tank and step on him as hard as I can, and flush him down the pot.
He corners all of my pretty fish. and floats in a menaceing way in the middle of the tank. He even intemadetes -me- when my guard is down and I come close to the tank. He'll dart up and down real fast come toward me. He was the biggest mistake in my fishkeeping.
Intersting also, I took a foot long twist tie and chase him to the corner of hte tank. for about 20 min. and leave the twist tie in the tank hovering in the middle. he seems to stay in the corner. And all of my other fish can swim around.

know your frustration.
My damsels killed pretty much everything in my tank. My local FS takes them back which is cool cause murdering them just doesn't feel right!! I mean they make you so mad that you really, really want to.
See if your store will take it back or call around and see if another store will.
No moe damsels for me EVER!!

I know I'm not going to kill it, (I don't think) but I like my tnank to be peacful all my fishies swimming around happilly a pretty eco-system geting along. He is such a basterd.

damsels are very agressive fish. they have that 'small guy attitude'. you should be able to take him to your LPS and they should give you some store credit for him.

I was trying to hold out to put mine in the monster , But I just had it and flushed his evil devil spawn butt. I was sad to do this to an animal but the diffrence in my tank was night and day. everybody else is sooooo much happier now.

I have one that just last night started to bully my two new fish The problem I have is I can't catch him he knows my reef like the back of his fins!!! I may have to get my tackle out!

 

[thangbom]

Hahahhaah you guys crack me up....rather than gettin mad over the guy why dontcha just get a more agressive fish to put him in its place.. or get bigger non-agressives which would do the same lol....truly tho...I"m not a big fan of my damsels but they've been in my tank since day one and I would hate to see em go...but then again the weakest fish I have in my tank is powder brown tang...lol

I like my 4 stripe damsel, but I have a blue finned that has tripled in size over the last couple of months. I don't like him anymore, but I can't catch him!!!! Any suggestions?

I have a domino and he is a bully. He really dosn't hurt anything else he just chases everything and bats at them with his tail. My husband loves him. He thinks he is just awsome because he is scrappy. I also have a 4 stripe and he is so small still the domino is growing fast and the 4 stripe hardly grows and is so nice. The 4 stripe is timid and sweet. Kind of funny!

I ended up pulling all the rock work out of my tank and going after him that way .

Strange as this sounds I hope my Domino turns out like yours...
I have him in with a Coral Grouper and a Undulated Trigger. They are all the same size at the moment.
Ive seen these dominos 5" long and 4" in height. They can put up a fight, lets just see what happends lol
Ill keep you updated.

I originally had three of the domino damsels. they traveled in a pact and killed several of my other more expensive fish. I did "dispose" of two of them (quite a hassle catching them between the rocks). I kept one and he seems to have had an attitude adjustment now that he does not have partners.

 

[baddominio]

hahaha travel in a gang you mean, and aredmon protect you 4 stripe, my dominio killed my 3 stripe in week 3 and just recently he MURDERED my prized yellow tailed damsel. BASTERD

 

[baddominio]

what do you think it is

 

[baddominio]

Damn Sels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[aredmon]

I got rid of my domino. I gave him to a friend. He got so bad that everytime I put my hand in the tank for anything he would attack me. As soon as my friend put him in her tank he went after all of her fish. No hiding just started fighting. They have a larger yellow tail and domino met his match. When I left they were still scrapping. 2 days later I called her and she said they are both still alive but didn't like each other.

 

[sw65galma]

You guys can send them to me...My mantis likes them as "friends"
