    Try the food in a plastic containter.

    cut the top off a two liter and tie some string to the top, place some food in it, when they swim in pull the line so the bottle moves upwards and bam! you got your self some fishys!

    Hook, line, and sinker is what I use ;)

    Also, it's not nice to call your clowns morons. They are probably pretty smart for fish. Besides, what would they think if they saw you posting about them like that?

    Ok, soda up the nose time from laughing so hard....I saw it right after he posted, I just couldnt stop giggling long enough to post!

    Also I think a really tiny spear gun will work for the devil damsels!

    Seriously, we had 2 in our tank and ended up having to tear almost all of the rock down to get them and then one was literally in the crevice of a rock - took the rock out of the tank to get him.....
