Rid my tank of...2 yellow Damsels and a Pseudochromis
 
OK I have 2 yellow Damsels and a Pseudochromis
(the yellow one with the purple stripe going down the middle, nasty fish)
I HATE these fish. I bought a fish trap, the canning jar one on
ebay...caught me some snails

I want to literally kill these fish, I've tried the feeding thing with the
net.
What else is there ?!?! Can they be blinded by a laser pointer ?
Do they make little harpoon guns? How about if I lace some food
with poison. I actually am about a week away from taking everything out
and then putting it all back in minus 3 fish.

Oh god that poor 6 line wrasse I just dropped in there today !

Any suggestions ?

Another trick is to go to the bait store, and get tiny
hooks, and go fishing for them.

I once had a damsel that became a problem. I used an arrow with a hunting
broadhead as a spear to get it out. This is not for the fainthearted.

Rock,

Your fish are hardy which means they can handle a couple of days + without
food. If your fish are desperate enough they will go in the trap. Go a day
without feeding then the next day set the trap. Patience gwasshoppa...
Maybe even get 'em hungry a bit longer than a day if you have to, what do
you care??? :) You gotta be there too when they enter the trap... haha.
Don't go runnin' off to grab a sandwich.

When I wanted to rid my tank of my Pseudochromis, I took a 20 oz coke
bottle
and cut the bottle neck off , and took the mouth portion of the neck , and
stuck it inside of the other priece of the bottle. So the fish can get in
and can't come out. (a dab of crazy glue kept it in place for me)
After a 3 days of not feeding it, I took some food and placed it in the
new
trap and putit in the tank. After a few minutes, I had captured the menace
of my tank.

Both very good questions. Ones I wish I had an answer for.
The yellow Damsels I can live with but the Pseudochromis I think has been
responsible for the death of a neon goby, cleaner shrimp and a cleaner
wrasse.
And now I see him working on the 6 line.

The Yellow damsels are digging out under the rock and knocking
over a few corals here and there. They are also kicking sand up all over
everything when
they're creating there little tunnels in the sand.

Lastly, I've just realized how nasty the Pseudochromis is.

Mike you don't work for fish protective services do you : )

It's easier than you think.

You do have to put food on the hook :-)

The hook method works best for the most aggressive fish
because they are the first to get the food.

Crown Royal not bad, but I prefer tequila.

I rigged up a contraption, basically a feeding box at the top of the water
with a trap door that I will pull shut. I'll let the fish get used to it
first
and then during one feeding slam the door behind them.
Trap / feeding ring combo...it came to me in a dream one night after
a few tequilas.

Built it, Just haven't done it yet.

Oh yeah, the 6 line wrasse didn't make it, in fact I don't even know where
it is....
I got a great clean up crew....

He absolutely should be ashamed. It's not about being smart. These
are living animals and you should consider the environment you are
going to put them in before you bring them home. This is one hobby
where impulse buying can be a real detriment.

Would you buy a pet pet mouse to put in the same cage as a python?

Alrighty then, I see I need to add one more comment to this conversation.
Apparently you are the only one not picking up on my sarcasm.

I've kept a marine FO tank for about 4 years and I'm into this reef thing
now for 2.
By no mean does that make me an expert nor do I care to be,
however, I do understand the whole concept of researching a purchase.

I purposely bought these fish and now I don't want them anymore.
Simple as that.

Yes it is true that I did not understand the true level of craziness the
Pseudochromis would bring to the tank, however he has been fine with my mix.
It's just time for Mr. $4 to move out.

If you would like I can stick him in a white envelope lick a stamp and mail
him to you when he's out. Otherwise I'll take it to the LFS and give it
away.

I AM ashamed I have to explain this to you, but I care, just a little.

A pet mouse in a python cage...HEY THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN...THANKS !!!

Hello Rock,

The reality is though that no matter how much reading / research etc.
you do on a particular fish / invert., they are individuals, and while
most of a species may conform to a perception of anticipated
behaviour, there will always be an individual that behaves totally
differently, and create mayhem when least expected. I suppose it adds
to the enjoyment.

Regards, Fishnut.

you do on a particular fish / invert., they are individuals, and while
most of a species may conform to a perception of anticipated
behaviour, there will always be an individual that behaves totally
differently, and create mayhem when least expected. I suppose it adds
to the enjoyment.

He sure does keep the larger fish out and about.

Pseudochromis usually aren't too bad, but I happened to get the one
that happens to be the most agressive
..
I built a cool fish trap. Feeding time is fun.
Unfortunatley fun for my Angle, clowns and blue green chromis.
The bad boys aren't going near it yet...
It's like they know something is in store for them.

Rid my tank of...2 yellow Damsels and a Pseudochromis
 
1 week and they're crowding the trap at dinner time.
I'm just waiting for the opportune time to shut the door behind them.
Oh the Pseudo still has not entered. I wonder what he is eating ?!?!

OK I have 2 yellow Damsels and a Pseudochromis
(the yellow one with the purple stripe going down the middle, nasty fish)
I HATE these fish. I bought a fish trap, the canning jar one on
ebay...caught me some snails

I want to literally kill these fish, I've tried the feeding thing with the
net.
What else is there ?!?! Can they be blinded by a laser pointer ?
Do they make little harpoon guns? How about if I lace some food
with poison. I actually am about a week away from taking everything out
and then putting it all back in minus 3 fish.

Oh god that poor 6 line wrasse I just dropped in there today !

Any suggestions ?

they go in woo-la... you caught your fish... good luck..BTW took me
