I had 3 Damsels to help cycle my tank and I got them out by standing by the aquarium with a net and a place to put them and when I fed the fish they came to the top to get food and I scooped them up no problem what so ever. I did keep one of them though they are cool looking. <img src="graemlins//silly.gif" border="0" alt="[silly]" />

My 2 Yellow Tail Blue Damsels have killed one of my Scarlet Hermits and they keep flipping over the turbo snails, so far they haven't been able to kill the Turbo.... yet.
Very cute and kinda fun, but they are bullies.
They are going back to the LFS this weekend.

I had to take my rocks out to get my one spot damsel out to the hospital tank. But she's back in the reef tank. Nice fish. not mean at all. Now in my other tank I have a Domino that is just mean as heck. Chases the 3 stripe all over, especially when feeding.

Ok, don't laugh at me, but this is a true story. I had a damsel that was very aggresive and even beat up & killed my dwarf flame angel before I even knew what was happening. I HAD to get him the heck out of my tank. Being a hunter/fisherman, I was at a sports shop and just happened to be in the fishing area when I saw very tiny hooks that are used to make flies for fly fisherman. Removing 145lbs of live rock was out of the question, so....I bought the tiny hooks and I bought the lightest line I could find and yes...I baited the thing and I went fishing in my tank. He was pretty smart, but after a about a week of fishing, I actually caught the mean thing! I pulled that thing out of my tank and you would have thought I caught a 15 lb large mouth bass. I think I was happier catching him then almost any other fish I ever caught. I was able to unhook him without damaging him and I put him in my sump until the next day when I could GIVE him to the pet shop. Just thought I would share...and yes, I was laughed at by just about everyone that knew me. Hey...i worked :p
