problem fish

[barmstrong]

Hi All,
I have a 135g reef tank that was set up in may. I currently have two yellow tail damsels, 1 blonde naso tank, 1 yellow tank, 1 hawkfish, 1 six line, 1 coral beauty, two false clowns, and a possum wrasse. I had 1 other possum wrasse and a lyretail athias. Anyway, one day i came home to notice the anthias was bruised on the side, then i came home th next day and he was even worse. Well the third day, he was dead. i also had another possum wrasse that seemed to have been beaten up as well, and died. I want to say it is the two damsels causeing the problem, because I have seen them chaseing each other and extending there top fins and bothering others. do you think they are the ones causing the problems. I haven't really notice bad behavoir before with them, nor the other fish. should i take them out. I think I need to get rid of the coral beauty as well, because he is bothering my brain.

I hate to say it but damsels dont belong in any community tank, they are bad tankmates. As far as the Coral Beauty, I cant say to much because I wanted to do the same. Sometimes in this hobby we have to give one thing up to keep another, it stinks be sometimes its better to be picky. Good luck getting the damsels out of there.

yeah,
I here it is a pain to try and catch the damsels, and I here the traps sold don't work to well. I think am going to get two larg garbage cans and drain the water out. I saw a tread about it a while ago. Hopefull when I drain the water, they will come out of the rocks and I can just scoop them up. I am going to wait till the weekend, which is my water change day anyway. I can then kill two birds with one stone, change water and hopeful catch the little devils, I mean damsels.
