    Well As for anyone who has read my threads, im sure you all know how much i hated my yt damsel. As of right now the only fish I have in my 75g is 1 clown, 1 algae blenny, and 1 yt damsel. My plan was to get my yt damsel out before i add in any more fish. But I really do not want to go through the trouble of ripping apart my tank to get him out. Any time I even walk near the tank he shoots off into a rock, Hes so skidish I never see him. I never really see him picking on my other fish he even goes and swims next to him. The only time I really see him pick on anybody is when they are first introduced into the tank, then he eventually stops. I would really like to pick up a new fish soon, but I dont want them to be stressed if he gets his attitutde back. So does anyone know If ill be alright with just leaving him in there? Im kind of on the really low side for how much rock is in there, so Its really open. Im thinking maybe once I get more rock in there, Itll be more easier to keep him away from everyone else?

    I have a couple of yt damsels in my tank and they don't disturb anyone. They kinda keep to themselves. I have hear that they are very feisty but mine are pretty dosile. I only have 2 yt damsels, 2 oscellaris clowns, and a gold headed sleeper goby. Those are the only FISH i have in the 75gal tank.

    I have never had a problem with yellow tailed damsels. In fact, I still have the one that I cycled my last 3 tanks with.
