I'm going to rock the boat here because I'm sooooo tired of hearing how inhumane it is to use Damsels, Chromis, etc. as cycle stock.
Forgive me, but the reality is that the neurological and physco-emotional sophistication of the average FISH is slightly (SLIGHTLY) above that of an insect. The thought that an animal with a brain that could fit on the point, not the head, but the POINT, of a pin can actually feel pain and emotional discomfort at the level of a mammal is scientifically pure nonsense. We're not talking about Dolphins and Whales here. Where talking fish.
A recent study was completed for the bleeding hearts that felt a lobster suffered while being boiled (I know a lobster is an insect) resulted in proving that the neuro system of that animal had no ability to feel pain; physical or emotional (of course).
Like I said, a Damsel is, ever so slightly, more sophisticated than a lobster but certainly has no ability to feel significant physical pain as you or I perceive pain - much less any emotional anguish which has actually been suggested by some on this board. This concept is balderdash; that's right, balderdash. So, let's stick to science folks, and not bleeding heart, nonsensical conclusion based on humans with no zoological training, whatsoever.
