I have this 2 inch damsel thats so aggressive it whips and nibs at any fish it sees! I cant stand it! Besides emptying the whole tank contents to catch it is there any way to catch it without removing my rocks and corals?

Have tried using food and net to trap it but its too smart ... damn it! :cry::cry::paiseh:

Last Satursday, I hv managed to fish out my 2.5" damsel with a pawn hook( size 5) less than 2 mins lei...but becareful when fishing, b'cos you might fished the unwanted one...hehehhe :lol: !

After many year of fishing out shore, this is the 1st time in my own tank lei due to kan cheongness, 1st time fished out the wrong one...my lovely crown fish :cry: !

my advice is be very very careful and alert when fishing in your own tank .... :P:D:lol: !

Pls take note not to let the fish swallow the whole bait :evil: !

Hope it help :peace: .
