    a really aggresive yellow(lemon) damsel?

    Only fish he does not bother is my diamond goby. He has killed a small clown and now has my dottyback running for her/his life.

    should I just flush or take him to lfs?

    Take him back to the LFS... That's what I did with my damsel that was pestering a new dottyback I had added.

    I just dont understand it, he is by far the worst fish I have had in my life. He does nothing but make sure no one is in his rock pile all day long and chases every fish around if they even try to find a nice spot to hide.

    Was he the first fish you introduced into the tank? If so, you might as well get him out b/c he will continue to bully every fish you buy. Luna

    Any time you introduce certain species of fish first into a tank, they become real aggressive towards any other fish you bring in. Damsels are one of those species. Luna
