The problem is that once you add them to the tank, if they dont work out, you will be tearing up your rockwork to catch them.

Think they tolerate the fish they are used to, but hard to introduce new fish afterwards once they are grown. Mine is with 2 clowns and he is fine with them, but I'll put my scraper in there to clean the algae off the sides of the tank and he is attacking it, and I mean attacking & bumping it. Its so much bigger then he is, that I couldn't imagine if it was another fish!

The odd damsel you will find to be very peaceful but for the most part, most damsels are @ssholes and can be very disruptive to a tank

There is a reason they are cheaper than a Big Mac.

An even bigger red flag is that people GIVE them away.

Very interested in this topic....
How do you guys think a 30-40gal tank would do with a few yellow tails? Do you think it would be possible, how long would it be "nice" for? Any chance a sleeper goby of some sort would survive in there with just damsels?
