Need advice on my tank

[jialuvqr]

I have got this big damsel with me for sometime already. Recently bought a Salfin Tang but kanna attack by that damsel until fins all torn. very sad abt it.

Should I take out the damsel and give away or is there anyother solution? I tried catching it but quite impossible leh.

Its not impossible to catch a fish out of the tank. Just remove all the LRs if you are really desperate.

how big is your tank? if its like mine, 2 footer, i recommend you to remove all the LR and catch it... i did it 4 times to date, to remove 3 damsels and 1 dottyback... my dottyback is now caged up... in my tank too... if its bigger, use a fish trap...

my tank is 2 feet only but i really dun wanna take out my LR and mess up everything. hmm i heard of fish trap too. is it effective? where can I get it?

btw, where can i give away that damsel? (i dunno huh) is freeing it into the sea not rite?

Fish trap best DIYed.

Run a search in the forum. Many people posted on how to make one before. Otherwise can google it. Sure can find something one. Be more paitent and learn to find things on your own.

You can just post it FOC on the swop or pasar malam sub-forum. Im sure there will be takers. Otherwise u can donate to LFS that you bought from, if you do not want to kill it. Should be alright to release to sea. But i will not encourage it. better off giving back to LFS or other reefers who might want it.

ha..ha Damsels are a smart fish. I dont think fish trap will be enough to temp them. Bro, I waited for two hours with my net to catch them and all they did is just hide under those rocks. Take my advised.... take all your liverocks out then you'll be able to catch them.( thats what I do ) Don't even think off leaving a single rock inside your tank coz they will try to hide under it too. Happy fishing.

Btw, u can give your damsels back to the fish shop. They'll take it. I gave mine away to the shop. But if you got anyone that is willing to take your damsel, You should give it to them instead of the fish shop.

no offence...think b4 u buy. this is wat a responsible reefer should behave.

dun waste lives. no fish like to be thrown away, kept in a small container...
