Azure Damselfish with Yellowtail Damselfish?

I currently have 2 yellowtail damsels and I want to add a few azures. Will this be a problem, will they fight over territories?
 
They might but if the Azure damsels are slightly bigger than they should get along. All really depends on tank size and how long you've had the yellow tails.
 
It won't work. I have been keeping yellowtail damsels fishes for many years. Generally each damsel would like a space of 18" x 18" or more to call home. it will defense that space vigorously against other damsels. Right now each of your yellowtail damsel occupy half of your tank. Now if you were to add 2 or more Azure damsels in, the Azure damsel will take up the space of the Yellowtail and kick them out. The yellow tail will then fight among themselves and against the Azure and die.
