Rid my tank of...2 yellow Damsels and a Pseudochromis

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?

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

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...

Please research fish before adding them to your aquarium.

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.

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.
