Free to a good home-damselfish

[baloutang]

I have a 2" 3-striped damselfish free to a good home. He has overstayed his visit in my tank and needs to find one that better suits his needs. I don't want to give him to a LFS, but rather someone who wants a new last addition to their tank. He's very healthy and fat.
I got him as part of the package deal when I bought my tank from a fellow reefer.
This is an aggressive fish and should not be in a tank with other docile fish.
I can send a pic of him if needed.

Thanks
Dave

So, did you manage to catch him? Nice meeting you and your wife by the way.

Yeah, I finally caught the little bugger. I used the advice from atlantis, have lights off for a few hours and then flip on MH, confuses the heck out of these guys. He was mad because he realized he was caught. Boy, fish hooks, fish traps nothing worked, but this worked within 5 mins. But I can't just give him to a LFS (knowing the way they treat fish).
Thanks again for going out of the way to deliver the corals.
Good luck on selling you house.

I could not give away my MEAN damsels, so I stuck them down in the sump and that's where they lived their lives..

Thanks Funman1, I suppose I'll end up doing the same thing.

I don't know, there's a few guys with stomatopods that may want to offer it as a snack!

Haha, my three-stripe is quite the little jerk, but once I got a clarki clownfish he got put in his place! He is still sort of a bully, but not nearly so dominant. Now he just defends his little cave instead of the whole tank.
