    Im starting another tank, and I want something simple. Its going to be a 55g FOWLR setup. I planning to just make it a damsel and clown tank, which damsels and clowns are the same family. This is what I was thinking

    3 yellow-tail blue
    1 pair of true clowns
    2 striped damsels
    2 golden damsels
    1 marginated damsel
    1 watchman gobi

    It will be something this. I know the tank will be super aggressive. Has anybody else just had an damsel tank?

    Huh. I think it would be cool, never tried it though.

    When Craig and I were at Gresham's warehouse we saw a big school of neon stripe damsels in a tank that was really impressive.

    Not sure how well they school though. Can't recall.

    On the mellower side, anthias and chromis' are always a possibility.

    Would be interesting, i had a pair of three striped damesel and when they got to a certain size the tank turned into a war zone. Ever see what a damsel can do to a Mandrian, it was not pretty. Made my wife cry.

    A friend of mine gave me the idea. He has a 55g Damsel tank already. He doesnt have any problems at all. Ocasionally he will have a small spat, but nothing major. his tank is filled with several diffrent types as well.
