Starkii Damsel

[NewSchool04]

I have had a Starkii Damsel fish for about 8 months. Recently the fish started burrowing and making tunnels underneath my LR! Stirring up my southdown sand bed, clouding the tank, etc. Is this normal behavior? I've never read anything about them doing this.

Its funny you posted this today. I caught mine last night for a trip back to the lfs for just the same reason.

how long did you have the damsel dvmsn? Was it a Starkii? I can't figure out why he's doing this now, after 8 months! Catching this guy is going to be close to impossible.

I am guessing about a year. He has been doing it on and off for that entire time. Its just that his new hole is enormous. It is a starki. Mine fell for the inverted soda bottle top, fish trap.
