i would hold back on the damsels.........they get very aggressive and mean for such a small fish........they are very territorial.......if anything maybe some green chromis.......

I second cash cow the demsels I had killed the green chromis I had in the tank. I know that they may be cheaper but!

just say no to damsels. I like chromis, if you have 3 or more they will school sometimes. Looks cool.

i think it depends on when you put them in, i have 2 blue-yellow tail damsels and once they get used to a fish they are fine, if you put them in last they might not be to bad, but anything i put in now they go after unless it is bigger than them

I wouldn't even bother. Damsels are just a pain in the butt in the long run.

Damsels are like babies they look cute while they are little. stay away from them like mentioned earlier very territorial they will even kill each other.
