BTW, why do you want to rid the domino? Is it disturbing your other LS, or simply not eye pleasing?

Hmm, I put in a domino damsel into my tank, and it was badly whacked by my clarke. Tell you what, if I ever get my clarke, maybe I can lend it to you to "tame" your damsel?

[JustinK]

LOL i never knew clarke so hiong one... haha... good idea. Thanks!

[Volitan]

I never thought so either!! Even my maroon kena whacked. That's the reason why I want to get it out of the tank.

[jesperlam]

Maybe i can suggest something???

Y'day caught my damsel out coz its terrorising the other LS...what i do is i set up 2 traps using net...both i put a little bit of food in and waited...then i notice that the damsel keep on swimming up and down at 1 corner...den i bring along my coffee filter...camo using dimmed lighting and caught the bugger when it swims up...haha

Hope this helps!

[JustinK]

Haha! i finally caught my black domino! now wondering if anyone is interested in adopting the bugger... heh... if not, i will jus give it back to the fish farm i got it from.

Congratualations!! U used the "lights off" method?

[JustinK]

Hoho, nope... i tried that method and everything else i could think of, now my arms ache from holding the bloody net for so long then today i saw my royal gramma being chased and kena bitten, i was left with no other option but to...... remove everything in my tank and use my own hands! was so easy after that... lucky mine is 2 ft, but still took quite long to rearrange everything lah, still.. its worth it cos my tank now so much more peaceful putting the bugger in another tank i use for quarantine, if nobody wants, then i return to fish farm liaoz... haha

OMG! U rescaped ur tank just to get the domino? Hmmm, I am considering of changing my tank... Maybe will do the same then.

[Volitan]

Hahaha, finally managed to nab my clarke clown some few days back. Now serving its sentence in the small container in the tank. Wondering what to do with it now.

[JustinK]

Congrats bro! you have been waiting day and night jus to get it out? give up for adoption lor, my domino is with my dad now, he thinks its cute! so its happily swimming in his tank now...

[Volitan]

Thought of adoption too, but some of my friends think its too nice to give up... Must admit it's adorable, man, except for its agressiveness.

[blacknails]

Hey man.. congrats on nabbing your damsel.. I was gonna suggest using a lionfish.. Heh heh...

Anyway I wanted to ask you where you got your Royal Gamma? We hardly see them around in S'pore..

[JustinK]

paiseh, jus realize i posted the wrong name last time, its actually a brazilian... not a royal... hehheh sorry bout that confusion. got it from ML some time back.

[blacknails]

Ok.. Cheers..

[ReDDeviLs]

i got an african clown,i guess its also clark ii

it is the biggest fish in my tank,chasing every fish.. trying to show whos the boss in there.. thinking if i should try and catch it..

[JustinK]

Does it bite the smaller ones? My domino killed my yellow tail damsel by leaving multiple injuries on its body, even bit off the tail. Was too late when i finally got it out.. Guess you gotta monitor its behaviour, if too aggressive, think you better take it out for the sake of your other tank inhabitants..

[ReDDeviLs]

it have its own anemone 2ft away from another small 1 that is host by a skunk clown,but this bossy always swim over to show whos the boss...

other than that nothing have been done by him yet

So it looks like clarke can be very aggressive once it's acclimitised to its environment. My maroon was bitten by the clarke on its tail. The tail has now recovered, but the recovering portion is now blackish rather than the original orange colour.
