I have a confession to make.
As much as I rant about them ... I have come to secretly realize that I really do like them.
What am I talking about? No, not water changes (looks at Mark).
Damsels.
Yes, I said Damsels. Those bane-of-the-saltwater world fish.
Why? Because they are one of the few fish that are ulta-active in tanks. They love to explore every nook and cranny of my tank (I have 2 Talbot Damsels). I see them out and about all of the time. My two tangs hide quite a bit. And my sole skunk clown hangs in his section of the tank.
Granted, they are mean little snots, and have tried to bully fish many times their size. Though the tangs will put them in their place if needed. But they have nagged a jawfish to jump in the past, and harrased a swallowtail angel I used to have.
I would like to get them gone so I can add a more variety of small peaceful fish, but at this point I am resigned to them being the most active fish the time until the grim reaper comes for them.
