David- thank you so much for the info on the mandarins. I 'think' I have a male- but will have LFS double check for me. Also thanks for the link!
I will keep in mind the info on the wrasses- thanks for looking out!
Amanda- I liked the damsels- when I bought them - and still think they are cute- in fact I love the jeweled damsels and the fiji blues. BUT they get so aggressive and territorial! I gladly returned them to the store for someone who truly wants them to 'stay' in their tank. I will not be buying damsels again.

Bye to all- on my way to LFS.............
