I have 1 that is a model citizen. But recently (3 months) I added another one and the older one bullied the new one to death.

So if you add more than 1, add them together, otherwise you should be fine

Always add damsels last. And if you're adding more than one, add them all together... Then you won't have any problems. The YTB Damsel is one of the more nicer damsels if not the nicest. Have kept them for years and they're most often very courteous...

Yours is a smaller tank and it could become a bully when it gets older. The larger the tank the less aggression. I have one in my 125 but there's so much room he doesn't have a care in the world.

I have two along with other fish in a 150 gallon and the larger yellow tail likes to harass the little one. Larger yellow tail shows absolutely no aggression towards other tankmates only the other yellowtail.
I think one yellowtail would be fine with any fish, add two and you might have issues. I have them both in a 150 gallon and have issues, thank goodness for the little guy I have lots of live rock to curb the aggression somewhat.
