I've read a ton of articles about not releasing a damsel in your tank unless you want it there for good but I've got some trouble. My first fish was a damsel and I bought my second fish, a clown today. The damsel is running it all over the tank. I'm guessing at this point my only option is to catch the damsel. If anyone has some advice on how to catch it I'd really appreciate it. Or if it's pretty common for them do that and then calm down, I'd love to know that to. I don't exactly want to get rid of the damsel, but I don't want him running every new fish I put in there. Thanks in advance,
Andy

The easiest way would be drain the tank. I had some luck with all the lights out and someone holding a flash light. I also caught a fish with lights out put flakes on top of the water and scooped him up in a cup Good Luck
