    I would give it a go on the 3 chromis. I don't know about the damsel you have though. That may give the tang a hard time.

    If you didn't have the damsel I would say add one or two small gobies.

    A pair of neon gobies would be cool. They will clean your other fish of dead scales and parasites. They're like a cleaner wrasse, except they don't starve to death.

    The black and white stripe damsels are some of the most aggressive damsels around - which says a whole lot about their personality. I wouldn't put them in with any of the other fish you listed.

    probably, at the minimum just find it a good home. if the store will give you credit thats a bonus. might trade in the BW damsel for a cromis(which are cheaper). the only way to find out is to ask! good luck!

    Damsels get more aggressive as they get bigger, so even if it's not a problem now, it will be later on when it's full grown.
