spangela Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I know that you can not mix different types of clowns in a tank but what about damsels? We currently have the 'normal' Yellow tail but are keen on getting just a plain yellow one to be his 'friend' will this work or are we asking for trouble?

lduncan Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Damsels in general are one of the most territorial reef fish you could find. Unless you've got a big tank, or happen to find a well adjusted damsel, you're asking for trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 They also look nice when young but there colors go quite bland as they get older. I would never put them in my tank. In saying that a tank by themselves would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 get chromis' instead. blue greens are the ones most people have. they are really cheap and non agressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangela Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Already have a little group of them which are very cool to watch. We are just up to the next 'stage' of adding more fish as we have been doing really well with what we had and have decided to add more. Any other suggestions?
