Ok so yeah I was in a hurry to get fish into my tank and I picked up some cheap damsels a while back..... the thing is, I would now like to take 'em back to the pet shop... they're small little suckers at about 1 1/2" to 2".... I've only got two and I REALLY don't want to rip apart my aquascaping to get 'em out......... any advice on catching these suckers?????

try to bait a net with some food or use dividers to give him less room to go
Another reason not to use Damsels for cycling. 
I did try something different when I used the dividers. I tied a piece of white thread onto a #20 hook and jigged it in the tank, like a shrimp to attract him away from the LR, so I could move the dividers. He tried to eat the fly, but w/o a barb on the hook no biggie. eventually cornered him and scooped him up.
I've used fishing equip to get jewelry out of drains, get a parrot out of a tree, get a hamster out from under a cabinet (this one was the most fun), and a few others that are just too weird for the public ears.
Good Luck
