    Glad you got him. I don't think I agree with the homemade spear gun like mentioned before. Just a little cruel in my books. I do agree that there can be issues with damsels in tanks as well. I had two and one was very aggressive. That poor little guy ended up dying, and now my clowns and the remaining damsel are best friends lol.

    congrats on the fast catch, i hope your taking the fish to the fish store or someone is going to take it.
    i had to take all the rocks and corals out of my tan to catch a wrasse once, but the good that came out of it was the aquascape i liked much better when i put the rocks and corals back in :) hope it works out that way for you also

    Everytime i have done a tear down (once on my 46, once on my 55... and a new build with that rock in my 125) I've always liked how much better it looked!

    i had a dotty back in the beginning and when doing some aquascaping all my other fish hid in the LR....this dottyback had some gonads cause it would repeatedly strike my hand and bite me...lol

    it was not a happy camper!
