Any interest in a Huge Domino Damsel

Here's the scoop. Just wanted to gauge the interest here. I have a huge dominoe damsel. He is fat and he is about thee and a quarter inches long? Extremely healthy fish.
My wife and I (admittedly) are fond of the guy, but he is a brutal aggressive fish. We can't keep anything with him. The point is I have had him for several years and now he is preventing me from having literally -anything- in my 46bow. He picks food off my condi anemonie, and will dive bomb andyone who trys to go in the tank. You can see the pictures of the marks he made on my hand in my gallery. He drew blood on my wife... but he is a fun little aggressive guy. My wife can't stand the thought of giving him to a fish store knowing how they treat their livestock half the time, and the truth is I feel some sort of responsibility to see that he is well taken care of by whoever would prospectively get him.
Here's the deal:
POST A PICK OF YOUR PROSPECTIVE TANK FOR MY DOMINOE,
I'LL SHOW IT TO MY WIFE, AND MAYBE WE CAN CONVINCE HER TO LET ME GIVE YOU MY LARGE DOMINOE DAMSEL.
I cannot make any promises with out seeing your tank, but rather asking that you try to convince my wife he would be well cared for, and I think she will allow me to give this little guy "das boot!".
His name is billy idol and I am going to post a pic of him when I get my battery situation under control.
I'm sorry but we would only consider local pickup on this guy.
Thanks for reading

i have a blue velvet and two yellows im trying to get rid of

free to anyone who want them ..
right now one of them is on the sump


(i put him there)
 
jeff,

if you have no where else to go with them damsels i have a home for them in my aggressive reef tank. Although it would be hit or miss if my lion or eel would eat them.
 
ok son, this is gonna hurt you alot... well, you know the drill -put yer hand in the tank for 5min. Now put it in there and I'll start the stopwatch...
yeah, that would be amusing.
 
Shock and awe... no one wants my dominoe? what the? did you go look at the pic in my gal? How could you say know to that face?
 
I've got room in my sump, about 70 gallons of swim room

but I don't think your better half would approve

and I'd want to add about 4 damsels at the same time to keep the aggresions down

Your not plannin' on puttin in any moreys or somethin' that would kill him other than damsels? I think this would be great then. He'd love 70gal (in a 46now) and I think I could totally convince her with a pic. If it were primarily just other damsels he'd do fine. The reason I don't like him is some of the more delicate fish like our tiny jawfish - he fans his tail at him and harrases him... he also harrasses me when I go in the tank! He has a mate that is a sgt damsel, whom he pics on but can outswim him. They get along pretty good except once in a while when they haven't been fed.

That setup is way to clean.
I want to see a picture of it now.
 
well, I tried and I tried, but she won't let go of him! Dang it! That is a very nice setup and I suspect that if she won't let go to your setup - she is dead set on keeping him. Perhaps he will kill the jawfish she loves and that will inspire her to kick him out. For now she is sticking with her "NO" on this one. Sorry to have wasted your time.
Perhaps I'll have to get a few large healthy condi anemonies to take care of the prob?!?
