Default I AM SOOOO STUPID AND KNEW BETTER (Damselfish)

I knew better! I swore I wouldn't do it! I read all the horror stories. But
my daughter convinced me to buy two small Yellow Tail Damselfish as our
first fish in the new tank. WRONG!!!!! Bad bad bad!!!!

Little *******s torture anything their size or smaller. My friend bought me
a nice looking Clarkii Clownfish and I put in a very nice Royal Gramma. Both
are tortured daily by the SOB Damsels! The only thing they don't bother is
the Yellow Tang because it's so much bigger than them. Little ****S!!!

Now I am faced with the task of removing them from the tank without tearing
out all the LR. I am in the process of using the home made Minnow trap. It's
made from a 2 litre Coke bottle. I'm sure you've seen them. So far nothing.
They poke their heads in but not all the way in. Been about 3 days now and
no catches yet!

I cannot add any more fish until these two are gone. Any other ideas or
suggestions to removing them wothout disruption of the tank?

I totally knew better, what a dope I am!!! 8=)

Unless you're into them and want a species tank DON'T ADD DAMSELFISH! NO
DOMINOS, YELLOW TAILS, THREE STRIPERS, WHATEVER!!!!! You'll only end up like
me wanting them gone!
