Have fun catching those damsels

No really I hope your tank works out for you, but those damsels can be a real pain in the -$$.

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
This message board is addicting! Since I discovered it a few weeks ago I have been staying up way too late reading almost every post. :sleepy:
I tried salt water once before but it was a big failure. Now after what I have learned here I understand why. I did EVERYTHING wrong! I wasn't sure I even wanted to try again, but decided to give it another go because I know if/when I run into any problems, there are people here that are ready to help!
Welcome and Good Luck!!!

Welcome to the boards...
not to be the echo of everyone else, but definitely read, read and read some more before doing anything to your tank. It will really help save some money. Alot of us learned the hard way....thru our wallets!!!
Also IMO I would take the damsels out. They get mean and territorial as they get older. And they are really fast. Which makes them hard to catch. I would get them out now.

Yes I would also say get rid of the the damsels before you spend the money on a nice big fish. damsels are territorial and fast, plus they are nippers. They will more than likey just stress out the big slower fish.
