    You'll be glad one of these days if they all die. Damsels are not cool! I was so glad mine died after I gave up on catching them!

    Personally I kind of like my yellow tails. I was thinking about capturing and trading them back to the store, but they do have some personality. They don't seem to really bother my clown, either - they've learned to stay away from his anemone.

    There community ones so they wont give me a problem with other fish... Its more sentimental b/c they are my first fish and I really want to take care of them. The last pic is of the poor little guy :' ( hes still alive though and i really dont have the heart to do anything to him until he dies

    Jace sorry for your loss. If you freeze him it will slow his body and will put him to sleep.

    It does not look good for the poor fish. I would flush or freeze as you don't want him to keep suffering.
