    Been trying to catch these little buggers for a long time!!!

    This is a 55 gallon tank I have at my moms. They have killed off every fish that has gone in. These fish have been in the tank for at least 5 years (when the lfs said I needed to use them to cycle my tank, and they would probably die) , and just about every time I go there I have tried to get them out.

    Tried traps, nets even pulling the rock out,

    So I made a new inverted bottle today figuring, lets get annoyed with them again today.... but today I tried NLS thera a in there, normally I do frozen mysis. Within 20 minutes I caught all 3 of them!!!!

    Here are my words of wisdom for the day, if you are starting a tank.... NEVER use blue damsels... (or any live fish)

    Never use damsels period. i went through the same thing with a 3 stripe i had. Eventually I took all the rock out before I was able to catch him

    Congrats, I have 3 also that I greatly regret putting in my tank. Would it be too much trouble for you to come out to IL and get mine?
