Malignant Domino Damsel


Just when I though the tank had settled down and everyone was getting along. The corals are all fully extending every day and the fishes doing just fine when ...

My Domino Damsel decided the Banggai Cardinals were there to supply him with live food! He attacked and killed both of them. I got to see him finish off the second one, so I'm guessing that's what happened to the first. I got them 8 months ago as a pair and they were putting on good size!

Now that I think about it that also explains where the Blue Green Chromis school went! We wondered who dunnit and suspected Mr Domino, but never caught anyone in the act.

Little bast**d is going to a fish only w/ LR with a Puffer or Lion or Bass - someone tougher than him to keep him company

Me too Casey. Once upon a time someone thought they were cute and decided we needed 3. I hate those fish, the biggest of the 3 nips my hands and arms when I'm tank cleaning. I'm considering a mini-speargun.

try cyanide, I hear it works well to catch fish. A lot of people catch wild fish this way.

4 feet fishing line a size 32 hook and some good bait works well to catch damsels.
