Vanuatu Giant Damsel

Sounds scary dont it. A 6 inch damsel just sounds like somthing that should be in a horror movie......

BigAl07 · 12-20-2007, 03:38 PM

That's ALL we need is a giant DAMsel

boozeman · 12-20-2007, 03:38 PM

looks mean

michael_cb_125 · 12-20-2007, 03:40 PM

It looks like a Bluegill that has not seen the sun in years.

justsunnie · 12-20-2007, 05:04 PM

6' damsel = HBIC

prow · 12-20-2007, 05:09 PM

Nothing is more beautiful to see, IMHO, than a 16 inch Copperband Butterfly.

Someone brought in two 6" Dominos to my LFS. They would challenge anyone that came close to the tank. They weren't so cute at that size!

I have a Velvet Damsel in my tank and he is my wifes favorite. Beautiful fish! He has gotten very big though. Even with the stock of fish I have I haven't seen any squabbles except for poor little yellow tail damsel who gets chased by just about everyone. Funny thing is, he used to terrorize everyone else when I first started populating the tank. Now he is the smallest fish in the tank and I believe he knows it.

justsunnie · 12-20-2007, 07:52 PM

I definately meant 6" damsel up there. A 6' damsel would definately be a frightening thing.
I agree with prow, the best place for a damsel is between two slices of bread.

michael_cb_125 · 12-20-2007, 08:24 PM

I cooked a sgt. Major in florida one time. I tasted just like a bream.

vdituri · 12-20-2007, 10:26 PM

At 6" they are no longer damsels. They are full on dames!

Michael, you lost me completely on that last one and I don't say that very often. lol
