PEST CONTROL!!!!!!! HELP PLEASE

How to remove damselfish from my tank without tearing the rockwork? I have tried EVERYTHING!. My damsel is alright, although it does occasionally disturb my

gramma. Also, was thinking if i remove the damsel, i could add another fish so as not to over crowd. I have tried the mirror trick, the bottle trap, the hook trick,

everything!!! But this damsel is too smart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. i really do not want to tear down my rockwork. to stressing for my fish, and i

really like my current scaping. ty

hmmm hi hi, i recently manage to get my demesl as my tank got white spot . i put this fish at my sump haha.

what did was . i put the trap box in my tank. then every day i feed i only put food there.

for 2 to 3 days.

i didnt touch the box for that few days.

then my fish start to eat inside every time . . . . . one day i tie a string at the trap box. when the fish i want to catch go in i pull the string and the demsel trap inside.

unfortnately damsel is not the one i want to catch hahaa. so i put it at sump lor as the reborn uncle told me that when ever have chance take the demsel out. if u put in for years i very hard to catch and it will kill ur other fish if he is big enough

I don't think there's another way to catch this little devil. They're too smart. I took out all my liverock(I mean ALL ) juz to catch nine of my damsels. It's a backbreaking job but totally worth it. The best part is that i get to rescape my Liverock again.

So far, found that Azure Damsel is the best to keep. They do not grow very big. I brought 3 of these at 1" and after 1.5 years, they almost the same size. Left 2 at the moment and find that the color is quite nice. Of cos damsel should not be the first fish to introduce if you intend to keep other less aggressive fishes.
