Get rid of Domino Damsels?
OK, I have been watching these two spawn and run the entire 125 with reckless abandon for too long. How do I get two hammerhead domino's out of my established reef?

home made fish trap? i hear people take 2 litter bottles, cut the neck off, then cut the lid and point it inwards. then put food in the bottom of it. like what this guy did, but with a bigger bottle:

What hydropholic said, but nothing is easy your going to have to water the trap until your fish is in there and then get it out. If you leave it in all night the damsel will probably figure out how to get out. You can also buy fish traps, but for a small damsel I wouldn't suggest wasting the $.

spawning size domino damsels are huge
 and hungry. It shouldn't be very difficult to get 'em.

I have always been a fan of damsels and domino's are one of my fav. I don't ever have a problem with them for some reason. However, i have never seen a pair link up.

Ripped my tank apart after watching the one in my tank drag my Blue Tang around by its tail.
I believe in catch and release. But not that time. |

favorite food, mono-filament, barb less hook, don't feed until they take it, if you catch other fish leave them out of the display until you have the damsels.
