    so my mom absolutely had to have a 6 line wrasse. told her no but u know how it goes, she NEEDED to have it.

    but just like i said, her damsels are chasing it all over the tank, the poor guys going to die from stress in no time! Shes sure that they will get along and she says "i dont wanna get rid of my damsels... they r really pretty and play nice together"

    now how do i persuade her that a few 4 dollar fish are not worth loosing her "new" favorite fish?

    It kinda sounds like there is no persuading her, she is going to have to learn from her mistake, or that 6-line is gonna have to toughen up.

    or tell her the 6-line is such a bad dude he harassed the damsels sooo much they found their own ways o the toilet bowl.

    my strawberry pseudochromis is a lot worse than the damsel
    the damsel is probobly the least aggresive fish in my tank :eek:
    plus damsels come in all kinds of colors

    sorry on topic now, yeah i dont think you will be catching a damsel unless its dead or you tear down the tank

    I do remember seeing a post somewhere about a guy catching his damsels with a hook and line.
