Default Damsell Trap

I went according to plan an got a Coral Beauty a couple of days ago. Well,
he wasn't welcome by my Damsell, who beat the fins out of him forcing me to
get the Coral Beauty out.

At that point a I decided to take the damsell out. It is harder than it
looks!

Two days after, he was still in there. I starved him and did the bottle
trap with no luck. My last resource was a life bait.

I put the Coral Beauty inside the bottle and he got interested, after
hitting the bottle wall for four hours he went in and the beaten Coral
Beauty ran out. Now the damsell is waiting his faith.

I still have one small damsell in my tank, but so far he's very shy.

Now my tank is predator free. My other fish still keep their territory but
not viciously.

That damsell cost me hundreds of dollars, he wouldn't rest until he destroy
the competition.

So for any who has a hard time catching the fish, try life bait next time
with the bottle, especially on territorial fish.

If that fails, get a lion fish, lol.

Ruben
