 Large Damsel Ok, I just bought my new tank and it was sold to me with a lawnmower blenny and a Princess Damsel, a large Princess at that. Question, he stated he never had overly aggressive problems with the damsel, but I have a yellowtail much smaller then him, and I just don't see this as turning out good for him or the smaller fish. Just looking for opinions, but can I be safe in introducing the Princess with the rest of my stock?  |

| Re: Large Damsel Quote: Pomacentrus vaiuli, To four inches in length, and as territorial as the genus comes... hangs out on its patch of Acroporid coral in the wild, and best kept this way with plenty of room (at least twenty gallons to each) in captivity.

| Re: Large Damsel Very often damsels can be really aggressive, but I have a 4 1/2"+ bluefin damsel that remarkably peaceful. If you feel that you can get it our of your tank easily and quickly, I'd say put it in and see what happens. If you can't, I'd find a different home for it.

| Re: Large Damsel I don't believe it will be good. After seeing pic it reminded me of the "Blue Devil" damsel. Real mean bugger. I would say talk to LFS for exchange/credit.

| Re: Large Damsel Yep, one damsel is too many, IMO. I've seen a three stripe damsel in a tank with 3 lionfish, and hold his own. They are fearless.
