I have a juvenile engineer goby and a juvenile yellowtail damsel. My goby has a nice "house" established in the sand. I just noticed my damsel try to get into the goby's house and swipe at him. The goby's "sand fortress" is now totally destroyed and the goby is hiding way back. The damsel gave up after I went and stared at him, but I'm really afriad for my little goby. I'm going away on vacation and don't want him to kill the goby while I'm away. Tempted to jsut take him back to the LFS, what does everyone think?

While they are cool little fish yellow tails are quite agressive (no matter what the LFS says). If at all possible I would take him back.

Was able to catch the little sucker and he's floating in a baggy awaiting transport. He even started knocking all my snails off the wall! :x Looked like a dodgeball tournament.

I have these damsels 2 of them in with my butterflys and clowns and others and they are very well behaved. The are active but dont have problems. I have had them for a while and have never seen them give any one a problem

I have a yellow tail damsel, he's about 6 years old. He has cataracts in one eye and thus he's not as aggressive as he used to be. :lol:
