Hello all,
I have recently finished cycling and have started the post cycling cleaning with inverts i.e. snails, hermits, shrimp etc. In addition I just recently purchased two percs to add to the two humbug damsels with which I cycled. I now realize that I probably should not have used the damsels for the cycle, but it is my first tank and you learn from your mistakes right? Anyway, the damsels are very territorial and going after the clowns periodically. I would love to give them back to the lfs, but I can't catch the damn things without tearing my tank apart. I have moved the live rock around a little to confuse the damsels and hopefully decrease their territoriality, but they are still pretty mean. Any ideas on trying to catch these things without tearing the tank apart or better yet, helping them live fairly peacefully with the clowns. thanks in advance.
