Schooling Damsels???

Larah · 01/27/2008, 11:21 PM

I know damsels are a PITA and mean and territorial etc etc.. However, that being said I really really like the stripped ones...
Is there another smallish stripped fish that I can have in my budding reef instead? only 50 gallons....

And can I get 3 damsels (the 3 or 4 stripe) and "school" them?

Have you looked at Cardinal fish?

No I haven't....Can they hang in a fairly agressive tank?
Can they be "schooled"?

Chromis looks a lot like a rounder blue damsel..
Interesting..
Thanks!

That was to funny! I was looking for a different stripped fish and came up with the cardinal also.

So I'm hearing a resounding NO on keeping more than one stripped damsel... and even a NO at that???
