sorry guys just had to spread my happiness that my three humbug damsels are now re homed back at my LFS and normality is beginning to return to my tank, fish are actually happy to come out of the rock work for a change, and my red fiji clowns are so much happier.

Took some time to remove them but if anyone else is going through the same problem, trust me its much easier to put half a day aside and remove most if not all of your coral and rock work and use 2 nets (i used a black net and goaded them with a white one into it) took me approx 6 minutes to catch all three but the rest of the time was taken with re scaping it, one plus is I am happy with the change downside it took a long time to get it right, but definately worth it

What was the orginal problem mate?

The damsels had just become so teratorial that they continually bullied the rest of my tank, and previously killed a few fish which I put down to other reasons, basically if your gonna keep damsels you really shouldnt mix them unless you have a big enough tank (mines 3ft3 x 1.5ft x 2 ft approx) and are constantly moving the tank around to stop that behaviour.

Alot of people say to put damsels in last if you want them but being honest i still think they will be evil fish and go for everything and take over the tank.

Guess the lesson learnt here is research what your putting in your tank as it can come back and bite you in the ###### if you dont! (and if a damsel was the same size as me it would do far worse im sure)

Can't remember seeing a thread on your tank - am I just being a dim wit?

There was a thread about humbug damsels in this section earlier in the week. They were bullying new additions.
