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 : )

Maybe a stupid question but why do you hate these fish so much?

The second questionb is if you hate them so much - why did you put it in
the first place?

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 ?

LMAO

You say that, but then again, if you did you wouldn't have ended up in
this predicament or with dead fish on your hands...

Thank you for the wonderful advise. I will be sure to
think things like this through in the future. I am so ashamed.

No Need to be ashamed Mr. Rock, its a learning experience, not all of us
deserve to belong to MENSA, we will make mistakes along the way, the idea is
to learn from them before the Super Genius's of the world show us how dumb
we really are.

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 !!!
