Wayne, looks like you are in a pickle there.
to catch it you may need to strip the tank. PS: Why are you SHOUTING ??? Cant you turn off caps lock on yopur keyboard? |

HI YANTON THE BUTTON ON MY KEYBOARD IS BROKEN AND ONLY WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO.. WOULD YOU MOVE THE DAMSELS OUT OR SHOULD I SEE HOW THEY GET ON WITH THE GRAMMER |

your damsels are only going to get more aggressive as they get bigger. |

Would give up the damsels and also i think the quicker you accept that to get them out you will have to strip tank the better, but it normally takes me a few hours of chaseing before i strip tank |

would changing the tank decor help damsels can be little s**ts when it comes to teratory moving the decor around will reset the teratory and they will sort themselvs out . are they domino damsels by any chance, if yes there is ya answer they can be real aggressive so if ya can move things about. |

Damsels should be renamed devils.
I have one humbug damsel and that is enough. I would get the damsels out as soon as you can they are bold feeders so you may have luck with a fish trap or alternatively damsels being as they are you will have to take everything out of the tank to catch them. |
