FREE 4-stripe damsel

[Mylilreef]

I have had this fish for a good 5 years now. he's about 4 inches in length. free to whoever wants him.

I do want anyone who gets him to be aware....

HE IS VERY AGRESSIVE.

HE WILL PICK ON ALL SMALLER FISH AND EVEN RABBITFISH THAT IS TWICE HIS SIZE.

HE WILL NIP AT MOST SOFT CORALS (ESPECIALLY BRIGHT COLORED ONES), INCLUDING ZOAS & XENIA. i have lost a couple colonies of each to him.

would maybe be alright in an aggressive tank or FOWLR. I want my reef more peaceful though. he's been sitting in a 30g tank by himself for a few months. I just need to rehome him so I can reseal this tank and put baffles in to make a sump. I really want to get this 150g up and going and this pesky damsel is holding up the show.


just send me a PM if you want or know someone who wants him.

Good luck!

I have a feeling he'll end up at Aquariums in one of their spare tanks.

They could feed him to the puffer! I took in my naughty dottyback and jokingly suggested he should become food for the lion fish, but Nicholai liked him so he ended up in his little biocube

maybe nicholai will like the damsel too and then we can see who the toughest fish is: my dottiback or your damsel! My money is on the dottiback. He goes for the eyes first. Its all about strategy.

IDK, my damsel likes to chew off others tails so they can't swim away when he reletlessly attacks. that's what happened in his first sparring match w/ a blue damsel.

 

[Mylilreef]

Bump...

Do you have a picture? I'm thinking of setting up my Maroon pair on their own 30g. Would he be too aggressive for them?

 

[lauremf2002]

surely a pair of maroons could hold their own against a damsel

 

[KDC]

I'd hope so.. if nothing else, they have a reputation to maintain. :-D

 

[Mylilreef]

I'll try to get a pic of him tonight. just to let you know, i don't have the greatest of cameras.

 

[Lytehouse]

Take him to Leigh Ann where you can get great store credit and he can reside with other misfit fish

 

[KDC]

At least that way you'd get something for him. I couldn't take him right away anyway, I'm getting ready to switch out my tanks.
