Damsels
 

What are your thoughts on blue damsels? Do you think they are generally aggressive and will pick on other fish. I have 2 clowns and was thinking about getting a blue damsel but some people said to stay away from this type of damsel?

I had a blue damsel and it was a BEAST. Easily smaller than all the other fish, but easily the biggest bully. I've seen damsels in tanks holding their own against triggers, puffers, etc.

Yeah I think I am going to stear clear of them!

We have a blue damsel and a very small saddleback clown. We had the clown first, then added the damsel. The damsel picked on him at first, but now they swim a bit near each other.

I found that my female clown would pick on the damsel.

I have 19 damsels in my tank (used them for starter fish) and they all get along o.k. now. However, I can't add any new fish because of the damsels. If you really want damsels I would recommend yellow tailed damsels. They stay small and are the least aggresive in my tank.

However, I have a three pair of damsels (domino, raticulated and ambon) that breed and lay eggs regularly.

I had a blue damsel that was fine for the first few months but then started to pick on all the other fish. He was chasing fish and nipping fins. I removed him but unfortunately he stressed my coral beauty to death first.

Damsels are the worst. The only damsels that I will ever keep are Starki Damsels. All the rest are monsters. :)

I agree with GIGY. Damsels are the devil..I had a Talbot and that sucker was suppose to be timid..not the case.

Say no to damsels.

Thanks everyone I will stay clear of them!
