Before I knew any better I bought these cheap domino damsels at the LFS. As soon as I researched the fish I realized I made a huge mistake. I've had these guys for two years and they have grown four times the size of when I first brought them home. They do nothing but eat and terrorize everything in my tank both living and non-living. I used to think it was amusing to see them interact with crabs and snails but that didn't last long. The worst is when any creature in my tank is stressed and they will stress it to death. They attack me whenever I need to put my hand in the tank and always get in the way whenever I need to take a closer look at something. Every creature in my tank is affected by these damn fish and I really hate them. I can't put anything new in this aquarium without the threat of them killing it. I can only hope that they someday jump out and die. I can't kill a healthy animal but the next time I need to move my tank or do a deep clean, these guys or going in a bucket and never going in my aquarium again.
I know many of you reading this already know about domino damsels. But for anyone who is thinking about adding cheap fish to their tank, don't make the mistake that I made. Cheap fish are great for a novice but a little research goes a long way. I can't find any reason why someone would want these guys in their tank except maybe as bait.
