Damsel fish info needed.

[Dannyboy17]

Hey guys,

In your opinion, which Damsels would you classify as community fish? I've heard a few different answers, seems as though Yellow Tails are the only ones regularly named.

Second question is: will the level of aggressive behaviour decrease if these fish are kept in packs? What is the recommended number?


Thanks so much for your help!

I've had yellowtails before (and now) and they all have been aggressive. The pair I have now are definitely more peaceful then the previous pair though. I plan on having a small group 5-7 of them in my 210g. They are great for eating the scraps leftover by the bigger fish. As far as them in a community tank, I wouldn't do it. I'd look into glass/threadfin cardinals, they can be kept in shoals.
