Damsel Fishing

 

[surfinusa]

angeler fish,volitan lion,clown trigger,sohal tang,undy,large puffer any one of those would be great at killing any fish so pick your choose but i would go with a angler or a trigger

but all of these will also prolly kill my shrimp and hurt my corals right?

and my lawn mower blenny would prolly get eatin too...i just do not know what to do my bio load is too heavy...i am fighting with nitrates and need to get a couple fish out of there

Damsels arent keeping your nitrates high.
What other fish do you have in the tank and what size tank are we talking about?

 

[nereef]

...and how many damsels do you have? i agree, it would take a lot of damsels to cause a nitrate problem, unless you are overfeeding them.

What size tank ,how many fish in it?

i used the darkness of night to catch my clarkii, i waited till the lights were out then went in at about 1:30 in the morning,flipped the actinics on, and i bagged 'em w/ 2 huge nets, i had 300 lbs of live rock, but he was so disorientated, that he didn't put up much fight
