Hi all

Took the plunge and bought a lemon peel angel for my tank.

Just put her in the DT and one of my damsels (I hate the little git) has started getting all Agro with her.

I thought “right you little £&#%, time to kick you out of your cave” !! Rearranged the rock scape and the aggression is better but he’s still being a challenge.

Question is, short of getting him out and dumping him in the sump, (I’d rather not as I will basically have to disassemble the entire scape) will she come out fighting and kick his backside for him? She is literally double his size!

I just caught 2 of my 3 black damsels who were absolutely evil. One is in the sump, 1 is in another tank - and much more docile now that he's alone with some big fish (emperor angel and a couple of tangs). Not sure what to do with the one in the sump either - it's the alpha and the most aggressive. I also doubt anyone will take it but i'll offer him up on our local FB group. Never ever will I add any damsels again.

I never wanted to either, my son’s choice, and to be fair it’s a yellow tail and never been a problem before today.

Ive got an azure and a scar face damsel. Scar is evil!!! The azure stays out of his way since he outsized him. I would just monitor, she might clap back when shes comfortable. Damsels are damsels lol
