Bully fish

[rudyoliveira1]

I have 4 yellow tail damsel, and one attacks me every time I reach in the tank.

I just noticed one of the four is pretty beat up and I’m guessing it’s from the same one that attacks me.

He keeps chasing the hurt one around.

Do I take him out and put him in the sump or what? Not sure what to do.

Thanks

If he is bullying the other fish he needs to be removed. You can put him in the sump or give him away if I were you. Damsels are known to be aggressive.

Personally I skip the damsel on the stocking list. Having been back into the hobby for almost 2 years and researching a ton. There are a few nice damsel but they can be hard to locate or costly.

If your sump is big enough and you want to feed another location, sure. To me the sump is where it goes until I find it a new home.

Got it. Do you think people would want just 1 Damsel?

I’m sure my cat would appreciate him.
