    Ok, thought I would share this wonderful solution I got from one of my clients a couple days back on removing unwanted fish from a fully stocked aquariums.

    Basically, you need a rubber band and a tooth pick.....hold the rubberband between your thumb and forefinger, wedge toothpick into one of the bands and retract. Feed fish, wait for the little "SOB" to come out, and harpoon away.....hahaha. I couldnt believe how much my client hates this damsel, lmao ::)

    Maybe we should offer lionfish rentals just for those occasions...rent the size lionfish that will take care of your fish problem. *wink*

    Not sad, all damsels should die with fire.


    (i'm still a little sour about a damsel that wiped out every fish in my tank at my business. The LFS that WAS taking care of it, decided to add him without asking me)

    i feel that it would be rather difficult to get the toothpick to fly straight. (runs off to get a toothpick and a rubberband)
