Its not aggressive its a dotty back (: You can buy good fish trap also all really should have one around I always have one on hand..Traps are like a wheel puller when you need one nothing else will do. Buy a good trap as there will always be a fish in need of a good flushing. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

I caught my yellow tail damsel by seeing where he sleeps, then netting him when he was sleeping, worked pretty well, of course you need to be able to get to where he is sleeping with a net

Pseudochromis aka dottybacks are the devil! I had an "Emperor Devil Dottyback" and it terrorised my tank until I finally got rid of it. I caught it while it was feeding. _________ [center]Renaming Our Corals "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it." Andre Gide | |
