    Why the hatred?

    The reef is not the peaceful haven it's made out to be, and can only be recreated as such in our tanks with much limitation concerning inhabitants, and even with that, we often fail. When you live in a world where you're just a snack for so many creatures, you gotta learn to be rough and tough to survive. :)

    lol, you're right! The hatred comes from tearing the scape down to get that thing out and the CBS after they tore through my tank on a killing spree! I agree that they're doing what they have to to survive, but have fun doing it anywhere but my tank. I'll take my peaceful tank so I don't have to worry about keeping things alive and not fighting Ich battles all the time! Getting rid of them also allowed me to add more fish than I could've with them in there! IMO

    Much hatred to the yellow tailed bastards, the tails should be red IMO. To warn!;)

    ty, I may have to try a fish trap if anything else. I'm not really to concerned about him right now. ;D I just think that it is funny how he acts like the boss of the tank when he is clearly the smallest fish on the block lol.

    At first you sounded like ghandi lol. If he's not doing anything bad, keep em, they are pretty fish. If he is nipping at all, I'd get rid of him. Just not worth it.

    Everybody is getting along for now. The damsel is swimming around acting like the boss lol. Seems like napolean syndrome to me lol. I don't think the heater I have for the 10 gallon tank works right since the temp hasn't reached 70*F yet. It has been going for 24 hours now as well. The angel is really starting to explore more, but seems to favor swimming in and out of the rock work. I didn't know he could fit so many different places lol
