If anyone would like to have him, i would like to give him to a good home. I had him in my predator aquarium but he was too aggressive and now i have him in a 10 gallon just sitting there. He would be good in a aquarium with large fish in it but my fish were just too small and he would beat up on them. He is almost 3 in. long and is black with blue and white dots on him.

he's a neon velvet damsel i think. His features in the picture are not very distictive...

Unfortunately that is exactly what happens in the case of most damsels when they get too big. You might talk to Chris Kadletz at the Gulfarium in FWB. He seems to be the local repository for unwanted fish. Try KADLETZ on the Florida Panhandle Reefkeepers forum at Reef Central. Sorry your guy just got too nasty for your tank.

3 inches? Aww, he's still a baby. He has about another 2.5" to go. At least keep him until then

Yes, that is what he is. The picture doesn't mask the features--that is just what they look like when they get older. He will lose even more coloration as he ages.

i would keep him but i am trying to downgrade aquariums. He is in a 10 gallon right now and he hates it. Right now i have a 65 gallon predator, 20 gallon reef, a 10 gallon "emergency tank", 5 gallon nano, another 5 gallon fresh and finally a 2.5 gallon with fresh. I have to many and we are looking to move in the next month but haven't found a house to rent. I really do not want to move that much water.

What kind of fish are in your pred tank?

scopas tang, snowflake eel, bursa trigger, picasso trigger, and striped puffer. Hopefully soon i will be getting a larger aquarium and can get my next fish i have in mind for the aquarium. They all get along fine but he just was bigger and i knew it wouldn't work, i just hoped that it would. Thanks
